Since no one answered your questions, I'll reply.

The manual trans oil should be compatible, but you should check to be sure. That's what I like about owning Hondas, I can buy the same maintenance products for my different cars.

I'm not a fan of synthetic oil for no reason (cost?). I would just stay with dino oil.

As for spark plus, look it up. Or have the auto parts store guy help you find the right ones, to be sure.

Synchromesh was a waste of money. I wouldn't remotely tell a difference between it and honda MTF.

Synchromesh is stupid expensive too.
