Maintenance

Manual Transmission Fluid

The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid according
to the time and distance
recommendations in the
maintenance schedule.
Always use genuine Honda Manual
Transmission Fluid (MTF). If it is
not available, you may use an API
service SJ or higher grade motor oil
with a viscosity of SAE 10W-30 or
10W-40 as a temporary replacement.
However, motor oil does not contain
the proper additives, and continued
use can cause stiffer shifting.
Replace as soon as it is convenient.
