Gears not going in?

[xntrik]

Oh and btw,

A mechanic store I went by today to buy genuine honda engine oil / MTF
The guy said he didnt have any, but he reccomended Mobile Synthetic 1 engine oil? He said its better than the Genuine Honda Engine Oil

is this true?

cause its like $80 for the mobilesynthetic-1 and from what i heard the genuine honda one is heaps cheaper.

keep in mind that im flushing the oil out then replacing it with new one, and not mixing.

It may contain better properties, but Honda engine oil is designed to be applicated to Honda vehicles. Just your preference.

id say the Mobil stuff is better from my experience. But Honda oil is recommended and if you clock up your k's like i do, Mobil will send you broke.

if you've got the money go for the Mobil imo.

honda oil is about 25 buks for 5 litres from memory.

Anyone else to confirm this?

Okay got my transmission fluid changed today
the MTF only came in 1 litre bottles which is ****ed, cause I needed 3
they costed about 14.50$ each.

The gears slot in perfectly fine now.

3 litres of MTF? I don't remember needing that much myself. lol

Well it fitted 3 with just a bit of spillage.

Was that the silver Mobil1 5w-50 or the gold Mobil1 10w-30?

You kept the car level by putting both the front and rear on jackstands?

hmm i think mine was the gold one. it was 80 from autobarn

[aaronng]

The gold 10w-30 is the right one. The silver 5w-50 is too thick and is more suitable for the holden V8s instead.

Its the gold one, the autobanh guy reccomended
