they misinformed you then, i changed my tranny fluid at about 80,000 miles and the fluid that came out looked just as good, and had the same properties as the new honda fluid i filled it back up with.

 

And what 'properties' are those? Take it up with the Honda tranny god aka Transzex/Mista Bone/etc.

 

The "PROPERTIES" i'm talking about is the fact that it had the same color, texture, viscosity, etc. as the new fluid i poured right back in, so before you get mad, it's just a fact that your tranny fluid won't get "dirty" (unless you grind a lot of gears) because there's no combustion so no carbon and minimal breakdown, it's common sense, not rocket science, sorry if i triggered you but i'm just sharing what i know and see

 

would anyone think that 10w30 royal purple would be better then honda fluid???

 

you know ive not been very impressed over all with the royal purple brand....i have not used it as tranny fluid but there are at least 3 other motor oils i prefer to royal purple...it took me a long time to actually try it and i wasnt impressed at all...maybe it would be a better as a tranny fluid tho

 

what about it did u not like?? its what i run in my 97 civic, and my 77 ford truck
