what is the best transmission fluid for a s2k
 

i got my s2k a month ago, trying to change the transimission oil and rear differential oil, i know the mobil 1 is good for the rear diferentail, but what about the trany? which one is the best honda OEM or redline? where can i get them online for a better price?
thank you for all the replies!!:)

I just recently switched to Penzoil Syncromesh. Do not do that...

Stick with Honda MTF. Can't go wrong and only a few bucks a quart

stock

The majority of people on this board run the honda MTF HG fluid for their trannys. This fluid is designed specifically for Honda and Acura transmissions. It is a fortified 10w-30 motor oil with special additives for smooth gear changes.

I just changed mine last night.

HONDA MTF only for tranny!

As for rear diff, switch to LE607, it's better than Mobil 1. I'm using Mobil 1 now, but I will be switching to the LE607 (you can get it from Rick's - see link on site).

what about redline mt-90?

those of you that say use HONDA ONLY...have u tried others to base ur suggestion upon, or are you saying HONDA ONLY because you are satisfied and HAVE NOT tried others?

i still want to know what is the diference between OEM MTF and redline MT-90?
thank you very much!

There is aviscosity difference for sure. Additives are probably different too. I am no oil guru, so I'll wait for Road Rage to fill us in.
I just know it works. :LOL:

I just had amsoil 75w-90 series 2000, put in both trans and diff. shifting was smoother and reverse engagement is a little better. amsoil is better than redline from what I have read. LK
