my b16 is on its way in what do i use for tranny fluid and how much?

 

I'd use Honda MTF or a good semi-synthetic oin...as for how much...I think it's 1.8 quarts.

It's actually closer to three quarts.

 

hmmm i could have sworn it was closer to 2. but yeah, honda MTF is the way to go. better to be safe than sorry.

 

yep it's around 3 quarts and I wouldn't recommend a synthetic blend. Either the Honda mtf or just regular 10w30 will also work fine, I would prefer castrol

 

Ok, I called the local Honda dealership and asked what I should put in my SI tranny....he said use "Brand x" semi-synthetic. He also said that is what they use in all their manual trannys. I also asked about Honda MTF. He explained that Honda MTF is a synthetic blend. I didn't ask about the B16, so it might be different, I don't know. So thumbs up for semi-synthetic

 

Anybody ever use Redline in their b16 tranny?? Been thinking about getting it, but i wanted some opinions first.

 

Ok what is the truth here on capacity:

D series Trans take 1.8 quarts
B Series Trans take (Some of you say 2 some of you say 3)?

If it's 3 I have to make a run over to dealership.

 

why would u put anything in your honda tranny besides honda mtf

 

I dont know the real truth about it but if MTF is the same as 5w oil then it would be a lot cheaper. I know my dealership charges 7.35 a quart, but I get it for 3.00

 

go to your local honda dealer and get honda MTF. Honda makes it for a reason. Always use OEM parts and fluids for most applcations.

 

redline MTL always here

 

Honda Manual Transmission Fluid, around 1.9 drained to 2 US quarts rebuilt. Where do some of you get 3 quarts from?

 

honda MTF. around 2 quarts. Last time i changed it, i bought 3 quarts just in case, theres always a little spillage.

 

I just put 2.1 quarts in to my S1 trans and no oil came out the fill hole, I'm guessing it must be closer to 3 quarts. I'm filling through the speedo hole but I have the fill bolt out to watch for when its full.

No I would not, it actually cause problems.

 

just fill it up until it starts to seep out, then you know its full...about 2.2 quarts
