Default Using regular oil for a gsr grinding tranny?

I'm not sure what your friend is comparing factory mtf to. But it is just 10-30 motor oil, that doesn't seem that thick to me. I had a gsr tranny that would grind at high rpm, I ran redline mtl. It seemed to help a little.

The aftermarket synchromesh stuff usually helps a bit with the grinding, but this is only a bandaid till you save up enough to rebuild your tranny with new synchros.

If you have the funds available, rebuild your tranny and put Honda MTF back in
