haha... timmy is a dufus!

putting motor oil in a tranny is like getting negative camber with wheel spacers, it just dont make sense

Some Honda manual transmissions are designed for 10w-30.

96GT281 · Feb 16, 2009

i never heard that before

It's not common but I've seen it before.

96GT281 · Feb 16, 2009

on top of that he bought ANDAVCE AUTO PARTS OIL i mean if your not gonna put tranny fluid in it atleast put some decent oil in it and not oil that lasts for 500 miles

LI98GTStang · Feb 16, 2009

Yup. My 1990 civic si station car takes 10w-30 in the manual tranny. Strange but true.

I heard that oil adds 24 HP to the wheels

That isn't completely true...you have to put a big vinyl sticker on your car too...then you get the full 24hp...otherwise you only get about 5-7...

darkside03gt · Feb 17, 2009

yes there are more then a few manual hondas out there that take 10w 30. Honda acutally put out a tsb about it years ago because people were putting ATF in them and the syncros were getting jacked up. I know because I used to own a civic and when the trans went out I argued with the trans shop about putting trans fluid in the new trans untill he showed me the tsb.

now go apologize to your friend or....... just pretend it never happened and play it cool.

4tun8 · Feb 18, 2009

I would have probably made the same mistake but I still find this extremely funny.

I've heard of that.

Some take ATF, some motor oil, some gear oil, some crisco.

yep we had a honda 5 speed tear up on us because of atf, put motor oil in it and it ran great. i know it is weird though. also if you add some vendor decals on there with your vinyls you can get like another 10hp too. lol. especially the street glow ones. i heard they give the most. and the big aero wings will cut your wind resistance in half.

anybody ever heard of doing this?
