does honda use motor oild for Tranny

[H23VTECLUDE]

ill be sure not to take my car to any of you for a tranny fluid change.

you need two. and dont listen to anyone on here. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. to get you by for a weekend untill the dealer opens is fine. Not permanatly. Even honda says if you have clunky, hard to shift gears or grinds then you need to drain the oil and refill with there new mtf. jea

Exactly. I always here people rant & rave about GM syncromesh, the only reason it doesn't cause your tranny to grind when it normally would, is beacuse GM syncromesh is real thick, which slows the revolutions of the tranny's internals, so obviously it doesnt lube all that well.

Honda Fluid is for lubrication, not to slow gears down for proper gear engagment, that's what syncro's are for.

Properly built tranny's dont grind, no matter what fuild is in it. Ask me or Nick about that.

But to answer the first question: Yes, Honda's OLD tranny fluid(Red Cap) was conventinal 5w-30 oil, & There NEW Fluid(White Cap) is Synthetic 5w-30 with a couple extra additives.

Honda NEW (White Cap/Green Label) MTF FTW

well said,

GM syncromesh is the truth for old worn tranny's......but do not use it in a fresh tranny the (friction modified fluid) actually creates additonal friction which helps worn syncro's to engage. but for a tranny with fresh syncro's you don't want to create friction.... u want to reduce it

In short

Fresh Tranny - Honda MTF
Tired Tranny - GM sycromesh (friction modified)

PS I The OLD Honda MTF was actually the same as their motor oil :(.......they changed that about 2 years ago
