atf could be the dexron III stuff or the atf +3 for electric type trannys like the mitsu ones, neither is good for the honda

Jed it had real HEATED discussions on a forum about this same oil thing ............. the majority rule Castrol GTX 20W 50 . Odder than that i hear men using the same GTX but a different body like the 10W 30.

Also discussions bout whether normal blend or sythetic blend. And basically it boild down to if yuh running a brand new engine its better to use the synthetic.........but as ur engine gets older (like mine, i'm running a 99' B16a) itys better to use the normal blend, i.e castrol GTX 20W 50.

As for than tranny fluid....use the recommended HONDA ATF Z1....no problems thus far

If yuh want a place that is sell the castrol cheap ......check the store on the main road going to cocoyea right after the corner where they's sell cocnut in the day and oysters in the night..............$18 a quarte........$66 a gallon.........cheapest in sando

That's what I meant.

[Jinx2004Riceboy]

FYI-I have a D15B aproaching 200,000 miles. I would highlt recommend runnin a bit heavier oil for a high milage engine and stayin away from the synthetic blends. The synthetic is generally a "thin" oil, so you get blowby a bit easier than you would if you used a comparable "regular" oil. Am I right guys?

[RuffNeck]

Scene, riceboy !!!!

Dude, read and understand ok ? Mobil 1 ATF may be well and good for any other tranny, but if you have a Honda of ANY KIND don't use anything other than the Honda ATF, you will live to regret it if you don't.

How so? Because i referred to my honda service manual and also read the full specs of the mobil oil and they seem to be well suited to work.

[Spyrogyra]

Well all I can really say to that is I kinda listen to the experience of others that know more than I do and in a case where the the name of the manufacturer of my car and the brand-name of the transmission fluid are the "same" then I would rather buy that one.
Honda ATF is made to OEM specifications, I am not one of the engineers that designed these transmissions, I don't have the technical specs on the seals and the clutches they're using and even if I did, I wasn't going to pay $20 more for an oil that most honda owners would pass over for a bottle of the genuine ATF.
Now I understand that you want the best for your car, we all do, but in some cases what is best may not be what you or I think becasue we don't know everything. respek !

[kes_vtec]

hear wah, once you have a trany, Honda ATF, NOTHING ELSE....
and that is the samething them nissan cvts running down to use...
as for the motor, fight over that one.
i use Quaker State 10-30

[civic minded]

use only honda ATF - you can get this at Sherif in south , or in classic motors

[Mini]

don't quote me on this, but the Honda Oils and ATF are all made by Mobil 1

so IMHO you better off using the Honda ATF since it cheaper than the Mobil 1 and is probably the same stuff.

But even if it isn't... I still recommend sticking with the Honda ATF.
