i would like to use synthetic gear oil for my car do i have to drain the stock oil and flush out the tranny if so how do i and what do i use to flush it out. i have a 96 5-speed acura integra.

p.s. is red line a good synthetic gear oil or should i just stick wit honda mtl

 

fuck all that. just go with synthetic blend motor oil. I have used motor oil in all the tranny's i have ever had and not one of them has ever blown up on me. Worked great and kept that shit well lubed up.

 

I think most of your replies will say to go with Honda MTL

 

You could use motor oil, but you should defently use Honda MTF.

 

Motor oil doesn't have the proper additive package. Use Honda MTF.

 

:jawdrop: somebody should have told me that sooner. j/k. Synthetic motor oil is what i use and swear by. Go with what makes you comfortable dude. Proper addititive and all that shit I ain't concerned about. All my buddies with lsd both b16 and itr use synthetic motor oil and feel it is the best.

 

More power to you if you think you are smarter than Honda engineers. They have advanced engineering degrees and millions in R&D (building Formula 1 cars among other things) but I'm sure you and your buddies know more than them. Yeah.
