Just wondering what oils you guys are running in your transmissions and rear ends and what you find works better etc. About to change the oil in my tranny cause im noticing 3rd has a tiny notch unless the clutch is on the floor.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

John

 

I used Honda MTF in the transmission and Amsoil 75w90 in the diff.

 

i changed my trans and diff fluids at 36k for the first time, and i used the new honda mtf and the cheap diff fluid that honda had in stock, i since then drove 15k without any problems.

 

if you track your s2000 look into motul products.

 

redline mt90 in the tranny and redline 75w90 in the diff... really not too pleased with the mt90.

 

Ived used Motul in my Tranny was Hurting my car Recently changed to Amsoil
Big difference for me
Tranny Amsoil MTF Synthetic 5W-30 2 Bottles
Diff Amsoil Severe Gear Synthetic 75W-90 1 Bottle
Amsoil FTW

 

it's probably something to with honda using 10w30 weight instead of 75w90 like everyone else in the world.

yeah...the viscosity difference is huge

GMSMFM in the trans

m1 75 90 in the diff

the gm stuff is ten times better than oem mtf, new or old version, been there, tried it and not looking forward to buy it again.

 

Penzoil Synchromesh in the tranny
LE-607 in the rear diff

 

For gods sake dont use the honda trans oil that says for all honda transmitions in the diff, i have heard of a few dealers doing this by mistake and it b***ers the diff, i know because they did it to mine

 

i think your confused.

yes, honda's mtf can be used in all honda MT's.

the deal with dealers putting in the wrong DIFF fluid is that some have used the gear oil thats for the cr-v. thats probably what happened to yours.
