NO NO NO................do not run synthetic oil unless you want to replace your gears again. If you want to be cheap, use regular motor oil 30 weight. If you want the trany and Quaife to last, use Honda MTF................Mike

Honda MTF is synthetic.
Its mostly the (lack of) additives that make it good.
