just either get regular motor oil or some honda manuel trannsmission fluid OR gm synchromesh for manuel trannys. if you are getting regular oil go with 5w/30 for colder weather or 10w/30 for hotter weather is what honda recommends

i use 10w-40 motor oil for my tranny fluid, and i fill it up through the VSS hole. much easier IMO. you don't need a hose. all you need is a long funnel.
