i just though of this and want to ask u guys and see what yall think

ok, i have heard from many ppl that u can run 10w30 motor oil in them

when i worked at the honda dealership everyone there said not to run the motor oil in the trans, they said to run the honda manual trans fluid in it.

i have the 97 service manual from the shop i used to work at and it says to only run the motor oil in it temporarley not parmanent. andto run the

honda fluid in it

i just want to here what yall have to say, or if u have used motor oil and not had any problems...if so what kinda oil would u run. reg oil,

avg synthetic, high dollar synthetic somthing like royal purple be better

i run cheap oil in mine. synthetic is too much money. i also ran honda genuine fluid. i never noticed a difference. and in the owners manual it says 10w30 is also allowed.

you won't "notice" anything with just a slight change like that, and i would recommend HTF, but everyone has their own opinion, royal purple is a great brand

10w30 in the summer and 5w30 in the winter.

i wasnt changing mine, when i do i put the honda fluid in it, i just wanted to ask and see what others used and had to say about it to see if something was better, and if any one used plain motor oil

oic...well for hondas i highly recommend using the honda fluid. when u go to the dealership, make sure u specify manual or automatic since their different.

From everything I've read the Honda fluid breaks down pretty quick, about 10k-15k miles. I used synthetic 5W-30 for a change, but decided that was too expensive. Regular 10W-30 is what I would reccomend.
