Default royal prurple

How many quarts of fluid does it take for a b16 tranny? And are you suppose to mix half and half of honda mtf with royal purple or i can straight just use royal purple only?

Run just the Honda MTF. You dont need the royal purple. What's the point?

IIRC, Honda MTF is Idemitsu synthetic. I know it's def. Idemitsu oil...but I'm also almost positive it's synthetic Idemitsu.

It also has a friction modifier allready in there if you get the Type 2 MTF.

It's a night and day from the old Honda MTF.

2.4qts.

No it doesn't. If it did, you over filled it. It's 2.4 qts.

What's your reasoning for royal purple being a better choice?

there is a reason its called transmission oil and motor oil. There are additives that the two don't share for obvious reasons.
