Royal Purple is 1/2 Pennzoil Synchromesh and 1/2 RP oil.

I suggest sticking to simple 10w30 for OEM tranny.

Just any 10w30 oil will suffice? I have heard that this breaks down quickly and causes Premature wear. Or does every mtf do this after so long? If so which is better regular motor oil or specific honda fluid. And i have also read that sycromesh is much nicer and better for the trans then regular oil. Is this true? Just trying to clear this up. There is much debate

near stock street tranny, Supertech or any other 10w30 works just fine. Unless you wanna spend you money on Synchromesh. Most an't tell the difference from the drivers seat.

Placebo effect?
