fluid will not fix 'ap1 clutch buzz'... you need upgraded clutch disk (i belive the part number ending with ...-55)

MY04 w/ 89,000 miles
Engine: AMSOIL Signature Series 10W-30. *Will test AMSOIL XL 5W-30
Oil Filter: HONDA PCX or AMSOIL
Brake/Clutch: ATE Type 200 DOT 4
transmission: HONDA MTF, * Will test 50/50 mix AMSOIL & HONDA MTF

Comments
Engine: Minute oil consumption. Pour only 1/5th of a qt before next oil change. Going to XL, I don't think Signature Series is necessary until baller is a factor.
Transmission: 2nd Gear lockout hear & there. I will be doing a 50/50 mix from a recommender I met.

A little info on the car. Pure race car. Stock block with a built head. Rebuilt trans and diff.

Engine: Mobil 1 10w-30 or 5w. Depends on my application

trans: redline mtf. Great cheap fluid that can take the heat. Hate the Honda mtf for my application.

Diff: Mobil 1 gear oil or redline. Whichever one I can get my hand on.

Brakes : Castrol SRF. I have used the ate type 200 and motul. I honestly like the ATE better than the motul for the price.

Cooling: Oem Honda coolant. Temps stay under 200 in the California dessert with temps over 110.

MY03 with 87k miles
Engine: 10w30 Amsoil XL / OEM PCX filter
Brake: Prestone DOT 3
transmission: Amsoil Synchromesh
Diff: Amsoil Severe Gear 75W110

Both engine and transmission run smoothly. 2nd gear can be notchy but I'm never locked out. Haven't sent anything off to Blackstone. Oil changes performed yearly, car only sees about 3k miles a year. Only driven in fair weather, no track or autox.

Lots of variance in the differential oil viscosity.

Engine: Mobil 1 0W-30. 67K miles and the oil level never changes one iota. Every 3k miles. Engine inside looks brand new.
OEM Oil Filter. Has the double metal ring with gasket unlike any other filter I have seen. Ensures proper torque.
Transmission: Amsoil. Night and day between cold and warm.
Diff: Mobil 1 75W-90. Works for Billman, works for me.
Brakes: ATE SL6 fluid. Designed for ABS and VSA systems. Slightly lower boil point but I don’t track it.
Clutch: Good old Honda and frequently use the “blaster” (actually a Syringe) to change it out often.
Coolant. OEM. Never changed yet on my 2009.
