All the products that AMSOIL sells are great the best motoroil is the 0W-30 that oil is actually used in race cars and is able to with stand the highest heat.

Check out infor on this website I found some intersting articles about many products that AMSOIL sells. http://www.easymotoroil.com
As far as the transmisson fluid the one you said is great you can also look up the specific products that are you can put into your vehicle by going to this link then you can scroll down to the bottom and it tell you all the products you can use and how much to use if each product.

My SI aint a race car so I use 5w30 and use nearly 4 qts and a half.

yeah but do u wait for the oil to drain back to the pan, and u don't want to over fill the engine being that u can damage it if u do.
good rule of thumb, just follow manufactur specs and then check level "AFTER" u let it drain back down.

 

Yeah, I took my Si to a supposed independent Honda specialist. I provided him with 5 qts of Amsoil 5w-30(ASL) thinking he'd know the capacity is 4.6 qts being a "specialist" and all.... When he was done, I asked him for the remaining half(.4) quart of oil, and he told me that he put all 5 qts in. He said that was normal and that the engine could actually use a little more,LOL! I showed him that the owners manual said that the capacity is 4.6 qts. He said noooooo, that he does this everyday, blaa, blaa, blaa.... I drove home and let the car sit about 45min. I went out and checked the oil, and it was over the max/full hole(indicator) by almost a 1/4". I took the car back to the "specialist" and told him it was overfilled. He looked none to happy(like I was trying to be dick or saying "I told you so"), but drained a little Amsoil out(wasted) for me. I'm never going back there again..... I highly recommend Amsoil oil, but the Synchromesh MT fluid is a must!

 

Amsoil is by far one of the best oils I've ever used. My car use to burn 1 quart of oil at about 7000 miles before my scheduled oil change of 15,000mile and when I started using Amsoil...I reach my oil change interval at 15,000 miles without adding any oil. Before this experience, I always thought there weren't much differences between oils.

 

not to thread jack but this regards changing the trans fluid. i noticed the drain bolt sits pretty high up compared to where the bottom of the bell housing sits.. anyone decide to drain the trans through a casing bolt?

 

i love how it says

"Improves cold weather shifting"

i run amsoil and its still shifting like rocks when its cold

just a heads
