I use gear lube, but check the owners manual or call a mechanic they would be able to tell you for sure The manufacturer recommended fluid is either Honda MTF (manual Transmission Fluid) or an alternative is an SF-rated motor oil in a 10W30 or 10W40 viscosity. So yes, you can use a regular motor oil like Castrol, Pennzoil, or Valvoline 10W30. However, the preferred fluid is Honda MTF. For synthetic upgrades, other options include Amsoil 5W30 Synchromesh Fluid, Royal Purple Synchromesh Fluid, or Redline MTL. It is NOT recommended to use typical gear oils like 75W90 or 80W90. The viscosity is not compatible with the Honda manual transmissions. I used Royal Purple 10W-30 in mine and it works just fine..... BUT, I will be upgrading to RP Synchromesh Fluid. == == == == == == == == == == == ==
