Don't use olive oil. It has a low smoke/burn temperature.

Use grapeseed oil. You're welcome.

Treat your car like you'd treat a vegetable to be sautéed.

Hmmm... I've been using Honda MTF since I've had the car; but now I'm considering Amsoil, since I've always read a lot of positive feedback on it too, and it's synthetic for durability.

Thinking might as well go full synthetic across the board on my S2k with the Amsoil MTF.. since my engine (Castrol Edge Synthetic) and diff (Mobil Synthetic Gear Lube) are synthetic too.

I'm sure the Honda MTF isn't synthetic.

i'm not sure if synthetic is the factor, since the redline is synthetic and they didn't last long either.

No, baby oil. Because you want to be gentle and baby this transmission lol

And as far as your rear end, well... baby oil works pretty good for that too
