ok I had a dig a few different days for info on the topic, couldn't get anywhere but basically it's been only 15,000ks and my fluid was bloody black coming out of the transmission when I went to change it

(decided it was a good call seeing a before I went on holidays I did a Sydney trip, tons of rural driving 600+km a week as well as my city traffic and whatnot)

just wanting to know what other people are using in their transmissions in terms of brands and fluid grades is all

Black doesn't mean very aged oil.

As long as it is 75w80 like the original Honda MTF, you'll be fine. I use Honda MTF and Elf 75w80.
