Re: best oil
 

You're a tranny.

Re: best oil
 

----, I'm sliping lately :P

Re: best oil
 

Honda MTF, GM or BG syncromesh if it's grinding.

Re: best oil
 

Genuine Honda MTF and nothing else...

Re: best oil
 

thats what I rock ;)

Re: best oil
 

I think we need to hear from mista bone!!!!!
But i use honda mtf, mine has been rebuilt

Re: best oil
 

also its not just the "best" oil to put in your Honda transmission...its the ONLY oil you should be putting in it...

and none of this bullshit about "10w30 is about the same"... MTF is NOT the same, it feels/smells/tastes/works different...

Re: best oil
 

I use royal purple in my cars, but at work I stand behind BG products 100%

Re: best oil
 

Honda MTF is amazing. They reformulated it recently, helps even more with grinding and popping out of gear.

Re: best oil
 

10w30 SF/SG.........never a bearing failure.

Re: best oil
 

what does sf/sg mean ??

Re: best oil
 

I like using used straight 30 with oxyclean in it just to keep everything clean. It cleans while you drive!

Re: best oil
 

Pennzoil syncromesh, same part number as GM stuff, but 1/4 of cost.

Re: best oil
 

thats what i do :-* :'(

Re: best oil
 

Redline MTL no complaints here.I normally use Honda MTL but decided to try the Redline as it worked tits in my DSM years ago.

Re: best oil
 

Yoohoo strawberry and a quart of duralube.

Re: best oil
 

honda mtf

Re: best oil
 

lucas oil tranny fluid, thats what i put in today!

Re: best oil
 

tell us how that goes iv heard good things about it
thought about trying it my self

Re: best oil
 

if you had no problems previously why would you change from honda mtf? its not like you're going to feel or tell any difference.

I changed fluid in my 90' integra with 5-30 or whatever the manual reccomends, and it started grinding 3 months later, pissed me off. That thing has 215,000 miles on it and 2,000 miles after the 10-30 it grinds? thats not right, use the honda mtf. its not even that expensive

Re: best oil
 

jb weld, your syncros will love you

i use just over 1 quart of honda mtf, and one of gm syncromesh, and add lsd additive if it has a lsd...

Re: best oil
 

yeah, thanks man

Re: best oil
 

I love the MTF it really helped my syncros out, but I cant afford changing it out as often as I should (autox, general beating the hell out of it etc) I might run 10w-30 or 40 supertech in the future, its so cheap I wouldnt mind changing it out frequently. Guess it all depends on how much I make at a new job :8

Re: best oil
 

i dont change transmission fluid ;)

Re: best oil
 

I put castrol 10w-40w motor oil in my tranny. haven't changed the fluid in 15k miles, never a problem.

Re: best oil
 

175w gear oil

Re: best oil
 

gm syncromesh fm hands down. Made every honda tranny ive ever put it in feel 100% better

Re: best oil
 

Funny you mention that... Automatic hondas that havent been changed in a long ass time + a full flush and new fluid = slipping and weird ass shifting

Re: best oil
 

penzoil/gm syncromesh

Re: best oil
 

+1
Flushed the auto in my '89 Acura Legend and the tranny fucked out promptly afterwards :7

Re: best oil
 

do not flush honda automatics. drain & fill only. They hold about 9qts, and you can drain 3 qts, so 4 d&f's will get you about 80% fluid replacement. Use ONLY Honda Genuine ATF, or add a bottle of Honda Additive if you use Dexron.

Re: best oil
 

for a wore out tranny that still has all its gears i use a 50 50 mix of cheap ass 10w30 and lucas oil stabalizer. that ---- sucks if you spill it or get it on your hands. and kitty litter does nothing to it. it laughes in the face of kitty litter.

Re: best oil
 

I reccomend doing at least a drain and fill on a honda automatic at least every 30k miles or so. Some people never change it after like 125000 miles and then when they do they wonder why they have tranny issues.
