I heard mix reviews. some say synthetics are good, some say they are bad and screw up syncros. some say stick with oem oil.
what is the truth? any first hand experiences?
thanks

 

Just go with OEM. OEM has worked fine for many of us.

 

thanks
anyone else?

 

Honda MTF.

 

I only use Honda MTF. If you do a search in the archives you'll find quite a few topics that support the use of it over Red Line, etc.

 

Definately Honda MTF, I've heard Redline can cause premature wear of synchros, but I don't know for sure. I had it in my tranny, but I didn't like it that much. Honda is great and cheaper than Redline, BG.

 

Is there any other?

i use gm syncromesh and this **** is amazing

 

use Honda MTF and change your oil whenever you feel shifting isn't as good as new oil.

I change my tranny oil every 6000-9000 miles, depending on how good it feels.

 

You'll need about 2.3 qt.

 

you'll need about 2.3-2.6 qrts..... you also need a pump to get the new tranny fluid in. I just did mine the other night....had some honda stuff in there before, but added redling.... made my shifting a lot smoother, no more rough crunching noises in reverse, and first was a lot easier to put in.... i like my redline MTL stuff so far...

 

. .yeah about 2.3 quarts... I used a $5 pump I got at the autopart store... its a pump w/ a approx 2 or 3 foot long clear vinyl tube so you can pump the fluid into the fill hole.. works great.. I've heard of other people using a funnel w/ a flexible tube also...

 

I use swepco in my car. Its great. I would either use Swepco or Honda MTF.

 

stick with the honda MTF
