What is the best? i've herd Honda MTF, but i'd rather just go to pep-boys and pick some stuff up. What weight should i get?

You can use 10w30
I just used regular Honda MTF, wasn't all that expensive...

Just roll over to the Honda service/parts center at the local honda dealer. You can pick up two quarts of Honda MTF for a few bucks each. I mean you are only needing 2 quarts. How much more expensive can that be?

Sorry, i should have cleared things up. Where i'm located, its a 35 minute drive to Honda, and a 4 minute drive to pep boys. Its not the price, just that i'm lazy.

Spend some effort now or more later rebuilding the tranny.

Honda MTF or Pennzoil's version of Synchromesh for aging problematic trannies.

 

[jmart]

Why wait for the tranny to be old or problematic? Put it in all the time and extend the life or the parts. If you aren't close to a honda dealer then it sounds like the pennzoil (**cringe**) synchromesh stuff gets good reviews on multiple forums.

Thats what I used. (synchromesh) Quieted the grind to 3rd on high rev upshift.

i went with the syncromesh, works just great, i used to have a grinding sound in 2nd and its gone, maybe i'll redo it with hondas stuff later when i have more time. (maybe like, a year of 2 later)

 

[coldtotouch]

Just to let everyone know i found it is not 10w40, its 10w30.

If a GM or pontiac dealership is closer you can get GM Syncromesh...
Its a bit better then the penz stuff. But thats opinion because after taking apart a few motors that ran penzoil all thier life and seeing all the gunk build up...I just dont trust penzoil.

And I thought it was just me...

:?: ....... :shock:

 

[fireant]

? A Honda certified tech once told me honda motor oil is Pennziol.

Oh well, I use Mobil1 and Honda MTF anways...I mean if its just once a year or so that you need to do get tranny oil, find an excuse to go get it.

Lots of folks happily drive 35 minutes every day to get to work.

 

[Tiersin]

so do i, anyway, already got this stuff, had a gift card to, so it wasnt a biggie, i'll put Hondas stuff in it next time i have to go down there.

I have the same problem in 3rd. I may have to try that stuff out.
