Dont know what clutch fluide is but ur suppose to use motor oil for manual transmission and transmission for automatic. I would recommend using Mobil 1 syntec if u have a manual.

You are supposed to run motor oil in Honda manual transmissions...go check with the dealer, they probably have some special stuff, but I run 5W-30 in my tranny and its perfect.

it IS motor oil. 10w-30 is recommended. DO NOT PUT GEAR OIL IN THERE! for the clutch fluid, use brake fluid.
