okay i bought some amsoil 10w 30 motor oil fully synthetic , should i take it back and just get regular motor oil instead? i have searched and found nothing

 

use honda mtl or redline mtl... reg motor oil doesnt have all the friction modifiers that the trans oil has...get honda or redline

 

has anyone else had experience with this ?

 

Found nothing!?!? Whoa..

And those were just threads from the FIRST page of the 4 I got back from searching. The ones I just posted were ones that had a decent amount of posts and information.

After reading those, you shouldnt have ANY more questions.

 

i have searched my guts out and found little on synthetic... is AMSOIL synthetic 10w 30 okay, or will the syn. screw up the syncros?

 

I've heard nothing about Amsoil or any fully synthetic MTF screwing up syncros. I believe you'll be perfectly fine man. Alot of people actually SWEAR by Amsoil.

 

geez, synthetic or conventional, doesnt matter, NEITHER were designed for the tranny, so why spend more than you have to just to do it wrong???

in other words: use honda MTL, synchromesh, or redline.

 

can't go wrong with honda MTF!

 

^^^^ yes i know. but does nobody know if synthetic 10w 30 motor oil will screw up my tranny? i already have it and need to know if ppl have used similar oils in thier trannys?

 

honda says, if honda MTF is not available, then to use 10w30. but this is kind of a last option.

 

a last option, tempory type situation<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by philosofy1 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">honda says, if honda MTF is not available, then to use 10w30. but this is kind of a last option.</TD></TR></TABLE>


use the ams oil in your engine, run honda or red line or a mixtgure of both in your tranny...

 

honda genuine ftw!!

it will not do any more harm than conventional motor oil will, if thats what you mean.

 

^^^ well can anyone confirm this.... if that is the case i will be glad to put the amsoil in and let everyone know how it reduces the notchiness.

 

I've ran 10 30 synthetic for over 40k miles in my Si. Thats all I used in my EG, and my EF. Just recently switched to redline mtl. No difference there either.

 

^^^ nice info, sounds like im going synthetic motor oil then
