'87 Honda Prelude Transmission Question
I am wondering what kind of transmission fluid to use as a replacement on
an 87 Prelude SI with a manual transmission. I got the car to work on the clutch and have since taken out the transmission. I haven't been able to find out easily online what sort of replacement fluid to use or if it matter what type. Thanks. |

Thanks. Honda sells a special MT Oil, but the manual just calls for motor oil - 10W30 or 10W40. AFAIK, this applies to all Honda MTs from 1971 through at least 1994. I don't know if it still applies to new Hondas. Anybody? |

We put regular 10W30 into my girlfriends trannie in her
87 prelude. Works fine. I am located in cold canada, and it doesn't seem to stiffen up at all in winter either. t |

Thanks. Typically 10W-30 motor oil. However, motor oils have changed since 1987. i think they now have less phosphorus & zinc, which are anti wear additives. IF I were doing it, I'd get 1 or 2 qts. of the Honda MTL and top off the rest with regular 10W-30. |
