syncromesh is good stuff. Gm dealer is the best place to get it. Honda tranni fluid is good to. I personally have used 10w30 with no ill effects.

It was good stuff, until honda came out with a new MTF formula with it's own friction modifiers.

It's hella cheaper than $13 a quart, and available at your local honda-dealer.

dont put any additives, just put in the oil and be done. It'll say how much in the owner's manual.

do you have an automatic or manual transmission? I dont see how a manual transmission fluid change would be $100, you could do it for WAY less, i think i did mine for $15 or so with the Honda MTF

Hey, F*CK you,

My oil change i an do for $20 with a honda genuine oil filter myself. Honda does it for $30 here. that is 50% markup....

Even if they did 200% markup it would be $45. Its even cheaper than an oil change to do because you dont have the oil filter.
