i have never serviced any of my hondas at honda (or any mechanic) in my life ;)Quote:

Of course Auto Boxes will have to use Auto Transmission oil.
So the technician is not wrong to use that oil.
Holy ****s! The Royal Purple I use is ...PURPLE!Quote:

yes, but RWD diff oil is like 80W90. not good for FWD Honda MT
just use MTF or FEO. cant go wrong

My 86 civic actually uses 20w50 engine oil for the manual transmission! My user manual thing that came with the car, and the waynes workshop manual and very professional mechanics all say the same. 20w50 engine oil!
Ive done a manual trans oil change with it and its fine
I know a few other older cars that use the same grade oil in the box and the engine.
But yeah, newer cars oviously dont use the same oil.
Hahahaha I remember that! So you did take it back and get them to actually give you tranny oil instead of gear oil like I pointed out to you?Quote:
