Default manual trans fluid options?

Wanting some options. I'm running a ctr b16b / lsd trans combo. I know there is honda MTF or you can use a 10w30 oil. Can I use a synthetic 10w30? Any better options?

^^^Agreed

Torco MTF for a daily driven vehicle
Torco RTF for vehicles that see some track time

Have you checked local speed shops? I live in the absolute middle of nowhere in eastern Canada (population of 17,000 people) and I can get it locally in town but i has to be ordered in.

You can order directly from us (or our dealers) and we can ship anywhere within the US flat-rate.

I remember checking their website too and they only showed 2 dealers in all of Canada, the closest one was something like an 18 hour drive from me. But like I said a local speed shop here can order it in for me, you may be in the same situation.

Do not run Honda MTF. Run non-synthetic 10w-30 and change out to Torco once you get it. Change the fluid every 7,000 miles if it is just a daily driver.
