Look in your owners manual.

save yourself the headache and just use regular Honda MTF. one viscosity fits all. there is no need to use anything fancy unless you're racing your car everyday/weekend.

-edit
something else i just came across. your car is a SOHC sedan...not a racecar. just stay with OEM.

 

Hey your name is exactly what your trans will be if you put 75w90 oil into it. If you can't use honda mtf, then you can go with 10w30 oil. 5w40 syntec if you wanna waste some money.

can you use regular engine oil in the transmission fluid?

 

you are no supposed to...its too thick..stop advising this kid to use motor oil....go to the autoparts store and buy gear oil..or visit the honda dealer its that simple

 

honda mtf or gm syncromesh

 

I saw a post on here that said the GM fluid was really good. I think a guy tried different types in a B18. Just throwing that in, but I would just stick with the Honda stuff if I were you.

 

I have a 94 Accord EX 5-spd and it calls for 10w-30 or 10w-40. Check your owners manual to be sure.
