there is a 17mm plug just above the rt axle that allows you to chk and refill the tranny fluid , and yes 10w30 oil will do just fine in the manual tranny , fill it till it comes out of the refill hole

10w30???????

5w30 is what it takes

check the rocker shaft seals.....by pulling out the plug wires if there is oil on them it more that likely the tube seals on the bottom of the rocker assembly.

Fyi: **** the bullshit use ngk plugs...or densos stay away from bosch

FYI have fun trying to replace the rotors yourself if you plan on doing it yourself. on any other car i would have had no problem but after hours of trying to separate the bearings from the hub i said screw it

well its not that it is impossible but the fact the bearings are pressed in on the 94 and needless to say it is a tight fit. don't get me wrong you might have the right tools for it and in which case it is not impossible. just about any other car i can do both sides in about 1 hour and that is taking my time with it. but i will say my accord showed me up so i had a shop deal with it instead and since they had to take the whole knuckle off to do it had them replace the axle while they were at it. that way they didn't charge me for labor since at that point it took them all of 3 minutes to swap out the axle

here is a pic of what i mean you can see how the bearing is pressed in
