Well i went to the Honda dealorship wanting to buy some tranny fluid and new badges (Yeah i have the white ricer badges), but the guy at the counter said i could run motor oil and that only the newer 2000+ cars need tranny fluid. Is there any truth to that? If so what grade motor oil do you reccommend? thanks

 

I would get honda MTF. Theres alot of info if you try a search. Anyways do you konw if the fill/check plug on the tranny is backwards for instance clockwise is to loosen it and counter clockwise is the tighten it????

 

I would stick to the MTF also. It works, and your synchros will love you.

The tranny drain and fill bolts are normal thread. Righty tighty, lefty loosey

 

i put castrol syntec 10w40 in my **** and before that i had honda mtf its all the same

 

If you do use motor oil, you'll need to change it after about 3,000 miles. Use it only on a temporary basis.

 

My '92 Helms manual says to use 10W30 or 10W40 motor oil and change it every 2 years or 30,000 miles.

 

I did.

 

They know what their talking about.

 

speaking of tranny fluid, i just changed mine today. what did i use? 10w30 (non synthetic) as recommended by honda before their MTF came out.

results? oh soo smoooth..

 

no mister, you need to open a honda repair manual. what kind of oil you think you got in ur tranny?
