NOOOOOOO, motor oil and transmission fluid are TWO different things. Although putting like a quart of transmission fluid in your motor with an oil change, running it for a week, draining and then refilling with only motor oil actually helps clean the engine out. But putting motor oil in the transmission is a no-no. Use Honda AT fluid; it's the best for our cars.

 

In manual transmissions this is TRUE, automatics NO!

Where did u hear that? Thats very interesting.

should i juss stick with honda oem tranny oil?

 

Actually that's from my dad. He used to be a licensed mechanic 10 years ago. We had an early LS400(notorious for the lifter's ticking), and cleaned it out with tranny fluid. Helped a lot in reducing the ticking noise.

 

Yeah I definitely would from my own experience. When I had an '88 accord, the transmission started to go and not shift from 2nd to 3rd on cold mornings. Changed the tranny fluid to Honda AT fluid and it fixed the problem...for that winter...then I sold it b/c the tranny started acting up again later on.

 

nice thanks guys

btw i have OT question, all the cold air intake does is suck cooler air away from the engine right?
wouldnt removin ur resonator make ur intake a cai?

 

yes....technically.

There are still design advantages to a good cai pipe and filter. Stock airboxes just arent that efficient.

Hopefully someone else will give a better explanation :-)

i was thinkin about makin a tube for the intake
