Ok so the dealer ship uses basically oil with some additives in there.
But engine oil doesnt break down that fast in a trannsmission any ways.
Ok so here are my choices.

Royal Purple, with or without a lil lucas oil additive.
GM syncromesh (dont know if I should use all of it or just half)
Honda's MTF

any other opininions out there.

The tranny works fine, just want to do a flush.

So whats the best stuff to use or whats the best mixture of oils to use?

 

SYNTEC.

 

so yours telling me that castrol is better than royal purple? are you series and
0 30 weight. I hope thats just a pic and not what you used for the tranny? But if it is let me know the results

Results?
I've been on syntec for years now.
What are you asking for tranny fluid or motor oil?

 

TRANNY FLUID and did you seriously put 0w30 weight in your tranny?

 

Honda MTF.

 

when i changed my drive shaft i put in standard 10w30 motor oil. ive been running the car for around 10months now with No problem's at all.

 

Royal purple great product...too pricey though.

 

Honda MTF

After i changed out my tranny oil and replaced it with Honda MTF, my gear shifts were so smooth, i could shift with just my index finger

 

redline also make good products

 

any 10w-30 is fine..I have buddies who throw syncrmesh in there but when I drive their cars I can't tell the difference......10w-30 FTW

 

Well I would say GM syncromesh, but honda MTF would be fine, I've just fell into the habbit, that if your going to do it, do it the best you can! GM syncromesh is the best for a good operating tranny, and just as good for a tranny that has a grind.

 

Honda MTF is best

 

I have Amsoil Synchro MTF 5W30 in mine. Its very good synthetic.

sounds like i should get this kind the next time i cange my axle "soon" third is pretty bad. racing is bad.

 

I used 10w30 in my tranny before. It didnt feel too bad, but when I switched back to Honda MTF, it felt smoother.

 

Honda MTF every 30k miles

 

Regarding manual transmission fluid changes, I had a few questions ('99 LX 4-cylinder)

a. How much manual transmission fluid do I need?

b. Does the change need to be done on a flat surface, or is having the front up on ramps OK?

c. What type of funnel or tube do you use to get oil into the top bolt hole? Does a transmission funnel fit into it?

 

flat surface just fill till it spills out the filler hole, and Honda mtf for the win

 

I have run both Honda MTF and synthetic 10-30 oil. I noticed no difference between the two (my shop manual says regular 10-30 oil).

I do KNOW synthetic will last longer than "regular" oil in a tranney- builds up acids slower, important because tranney oil stays in much longer than engine oil.

I am very picky about my engine oil (10-30 synthetic), but I can't really see spending the $$$ for the Honda MTF, I really saw zero difference, except for the $$$.

I do dump the oil and change it once a year, not very expensive and very easy to do. Do this and don't abuse the clutch/tranney and it will run forever. Wrenchy
