the honda one is one of the best way to go for tranny oil. since i was cheap i used mobile 1.
royal purple is a beast. ul will feel a diff while shifting. feels alot better but it cost alot of money

GM Synchromesh was probably one of the best for a long time but Honda has since reformulated their HTF and its very good if not a little better!

Royal Purple is great but like Nemo said its very expensive compared to the HTF!

I used Penzoil Syncromesh and it definitely made the shifting alot smoother then before.
