SHould i just go out and by new tranny fluid? also, where can i dump the fluid? btw. i searched already. thanx in advance

they should be ok (unopen) , I guess they are atleast better than the fluid thats inside the tranny

 

DON'T use it!!!
buy Honda Tranny fluid or use engine oil.

 

Are you saying not to use Redline, or not to use year-old redline?


Why so?

 

i'm not an expert on the subject, but i just know something about the wieght of normal tranny fluid dosen't work that well in Honda trannies.
i've been told by many to use either Honda mtf or regular motor oil only.

 

I have read a couple of anti-redline rants come from Mista bone, he has plenty of experience with Honda trannies.

 

i wouldnt just because honda, honda-tech and all other honda people dont really recomend it. To heavy alsmost normal gear oil.

i dont think the quality would depliate if it hasent been oopened.

 

dont use that
just buy Valvoline 10-30 oil... thats what honda put in there ( not that brand, but that weight) it will be better... oil doesnt go bad, but its tranny oil , too thin for that engine... u wanna stick with specs i u ask me...

 

Honda MTF or 5W-30

 

How come people in the states don't use Redline? All the guys in Toronto use Redline, no problem at all, much smoother for shifting, what do you mean by too heavy??

 

Yep

That is what you use.
