Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

System Specifications

Always use genuine Honda manual transmission fluid (MTF). If it is not available, you may use an API service SG or SH grade motor oil with a viscosity of SAE 10 W-30 or 10 W-40 as a temporary replacement. Motor oil can cause increased transmission wear and higher shifting effort, so you should have the transmission drained and refilled with Honda MTF as soon as possible.
