Dont put oil in your Tranny unless your using it only for very Temp. use.

Honda Manual Tansmision Fluid or Redline MTF

I put a 100k miles on honda civic hatch and crx trannies with only 10w-30 in them. Never had any tranny wear or other problems.. when I last drained it the oil looked like it was brand new.

but then I got my ys1 w/ lsd and *poof* guess who bought himself some honda MTF.!

I agree with Supercivic. Why have a great tranny like that and skimp to save a couple of bucks on tranny fluid. Get the Honda MT fluid.

Excluding price differences, what does the Honda MT fluid have that fully synthetic doesn't?

Wasn't there a GM product (MTF) that people were saying was superior to Honda MTF? This was a long time ago on H-T... what was that product called?

they smell different.

and the honda mtf is a little thicker, feels a little more viscous like maple syrup on the syncros...feels like it is more protective on the moving metal parts.
