I just got a 98 spec JDM ITR motor (low milage) with lsd and 4.78fd along with everything else. I was wondering what motor oil, tranny oil, etc you all recommend?

 

Mobil 1 5w30 Synthetic

Honda Genuine MTF

 

Motor oil - Mobil 1 10w30 or Castrol GTX 10w30
Tranny fluid - Honda MTF

 

you should try Seminal (tm) fluids. i think you'll really like them a lot!!

 

I just switched to the new Mobil 1 0w-20.

After 2 days of hard driving, and 1 auto-x, I didnt burn any oil.

 

Oil: Amsoil 5W-30
Transmission Fluid: GM Synchromesh (Friction Modified)
Brake Fluid: ATE Super Blue

 

Motor oil - Mobile 10W-30
Tranny - Honda MTF
Brakes - Motul RBF 600

</TD></TR></TABLE> What the heck is mobile...anyway i recommend mobil1 5w30 and honda MTF...same fluids i use in my 99 jdm itr motor/tranny.

 

If it is under warranty (although I'm guessing it isn't) then stick with your genuine Honda fluids - I have been told by Honda that they are very picky about this.

 

Thanks alot for all the feedback!!

Anyone ever seen or heard of or used Gear oil for the ITR tranny 75w-90
Is this like SUPER THICK or something? I was just reading in one of my Mags and there was an article that recommend this weight gear oil Just wondering

 

Gear oil is rated using a different scale from motor oil. 75W90 viscosity gear oil is actually similar in viscosity to your everyday 10W40 motor oil. Redline MT-90 is 75W90. Redline MTL is 70W80 gear oil, which is similar to viscosity to your 10W30 motor oil.

 

Mobil 1 or castrol (I'd say castrol burns less) 10w or 5w30. I'd use 5w30 then if it burns too much go with 10w30. For brake fluid go with Motul 5.1 and for the Tranny fluid go with Honda MTF or mobil 1 tranny fluid

 

my local honda dealer refuses to replace transmission fluid with MTF.

they will only use motor oil. I got into an argment with them service manager and evenetually called honda corporate about it and they didnt care.

I had to ask for like 3 weeks just for them to get some in.

the dealership is hondawest in indianapolis. I would not recommend going there for service.

 

What about ED martin or tim martin in Indiana
