Re: B16b jdm civic type r transmission oil
many people say the new formula is too thin. while true. im sure it still provides more than sufficient additives to protect the gears.
Is it the best option, probably not. Torco that is focused more on performance might be a better option.

Not on a regular basis no, but I've done enough. I've used a bunch of differnt fluids and honda seems to provide the best shifts and quietest sounding trannies.

Please remember that Honda calls for 10W-30 oil to be used as a temp replacement for Honda MTF. Believe me, Honda MTF is good stuff. Do NOT use a 75W-90. I mean just look at the numbers for a moment. The viscosity is way off. I for one tried to use that GM Synchromesh stuff years ago to try and "cure" grinds. It does for a little because the viscosity is wrong, and in a few months, you'll need new internal bearings. Everyone who says "I tried X fluid and it was awesome", go ask them if they can report back in 2 years and see if the incorrect fluid thickness made anything worse.

Just so you know, gear oil weights are rated dofferent than motor oil weights. Viscocity wise a 75w-90 gear oil has the viscocity of 10w-40 motor oil
The reason for the numbers discrepancy is because SAE wanted to make sure people wouldnt accudentally grab a 10w-40 gear oil and mistake it for engine oil.

Last thing I tried was Lucas 20w-50 high zinc racing oil in my em1 trans and had no issues...
