I recently went into my local auto one to get some new transmission fluid for my 1997 dc2 Integra VTI-R ( Manual ) and i was recommended Castrol ATF Dex III transmission and power steering Fluid. The only problem i have with this is the transmission fluid is for automatics... Would it be okay for me to use this transmission fluid for my gearbox? ( Stock B18c2 gearbox)
Tbh, engine oil will work
Doesn't mean it will work well
What are your standards?
If it works, im fine with it. i just dont want any damage to internals..
There is will work and there is work well.
work well preferably....
Mate
Use any manual transmission fluid- just read the container. Automatic fluid is not compatible with manual and vice versa.
IMO use genuine honda transmission fluid , and genuine honda power steering fluid
Not all engine oil will work.... What is recommended is usually 10-30...
OEM is good but I usually use and recommend CASTROL Syntrax 75-90...
You can use although any brand that is GL-4 or GL-5 . These are usually 75-90 or 75-85 .
oem MTF will be fine
just go to honda mate
75W80 gear oil is what Honda recommends for OEM spec.
Penrite sell a semi-synthetic 75W80 for under $30 in a 2.5L bottle.
If you track the car or give it a hard time, 75W85 is always a good choice.
Ben there are cars that specify ATF DX3 for manual transmissions, just not with a Honda :P
Ill just head up to honda and buy some of the Honda MTF. Cheers guys.
