Default question about the quality of jiffy lube lubricants

94 prelude vtec 5 spd
90 accord ex 5 spd

has anyone ever worked there or know the quality of their transmission fluids? i would like to have the transmission fluids on both the vehicles pumped. what im wondering is if their transmission fluid is good enough for our cars. dont really know anything about mt fluid. on my old 96 ex i remember that honda atf z1 was the only way to go.

only reason im asking is i got some buddies that work there and would do it for free.

they are manual transmissions. what im asking is does it really matter whether you have honda mtf instead of whatever they use.
how many quarts does one need to be able to pump the fluid through the machine?

Oops didn't see it was manual. Usually 2-3qt if transmission is completely empty. Honda manual transmission can use regular motor oil too. Either it was 10-30 or 5-30.

Either way. Go OEM.
