its a 1988 dx crx stock 1.5l d15b2- I called the auto parts store and they said to see owners manual. Well Im on vaction and didnt know I would be needing it so its 8 hrs away. Kinda need the info quick since I am working on it now

 

I checked the web I am showing regular 10w30 engine oil .. is that correct.. it seems odd

Yeah its 10w30 but stay with me here, in the old Honda manual it says its perfectly fine to use 10w30, now it you read the new manuals it says use there special trans oil, but you can use 10w30 but it can cause damage in the long run. So is Honda telling the truth or do they just want you to buy there products.

 

Honda MTF, get it at your dealership. Or 10w-30 motor oil works as well, I prefer mtf since its designed specifically for our trannies.

Its probably just bad for the new trannies, differetn materials/clearances etc. For ours I'm sure 10w would be fine. MTF just superseds 10w.

yup. thats what i run.

 

Thanks for the fast response. Its the same old transmission, its just I had to change out my clutch and we had a lot leak out. The car has 210,xxx miles on it so I hope I dont have the same engine/car by the time it wears out

 

Try this stuff, its about 5 bucks at autozone and people swear that it works great.

 

I tried various fluids (including MTF and Mobil-1 15w50) in my D-series transmission...
this was by far the best .. some people like the "GM Synchromesh Friction Modified" version...

i think that they are both available under a regular brand name , as "Synchromesh" [regular] and "SynTorq" (sp?) [friction modified]

 

thanks all for the help, got the clutch in and it works great-- thanks again

This stuff is about 10 dollars a quart, the pennzoil is suppose to be the same thing and cost about 5 dollars.

 

I put any 10-30 for engine oil
for my transmission oil I go to Honda dealer or parts shop(cost me $4 per qt in CA).
I have a civic hatch dx with a d15 stock engine with manual tranny. on transmision oil I put 2qts or 1.9qts to be specific . for my engine oil I put 3-4 qt
