Manual Transmission Fluid
If Honda MTF is not available, you may use the
API certificated SAE 10 W-30 or 10 W-40 viscosity
motor oil as a temporary measure.
Replace with MTF as soon as possible. Motor
oil does not contain the proper additives for the
transmission and continued use can cause stiffer
shifting.
