Honda transmission fluid

[raine]

Meron ba alam ba ang specs na para sa MTF ng honda 96 civic, plan ko kasi to change oil, and sa manual sabi Use Genuine honda MTF, any good alternative to use, brand or specs?

[wrcastro_ph]

M/T po ba? sa Honda lang meron nyan pero pwede na ang mineral base engine oil dyan.

For Manual transmission, marami kasing klaseng mabibili at ibaiba ang specs,
baka alam nyo ang mgaandang brand or specs

[ian_rex]

yes. you can use mineral based engine oil. SAE 5W-20

check your manual, meron din po dun specs. sa pagkakaalam ko kasi wala naman pong processing plant ang honda, toyota or nissan or mitsu ng fluids, lubricants, oil and grease. kaya they just partner with local lube dealer lang.

example:
personal computer / laptop etc...

brand is HP, processor is intel, board is asus (alhough di ko alam pero most likely intel din)

building / infrastructure
designer is Designer 1
installer is different

honda car
engine designed by honda
shocks, spring, suspension though designed by honda but get from a specs based on standard manufactured items.
such as spark plugs

di po ganon ka extensive ung knowledge ko sa car pero pagkakaalam ko lang po ganun, kaya sa manual may nakalagay n generic dun n parang sa gamot. akin 97 vti, matic, pero ang ginamit ko n fluid is ung sa petron lang po, kasi dexron III compliant n po iyon. and very much compatible with dexron II.

hope nakatulong ako...

bro look it up in the thread i made several weeks ago. we faced the same dilemma and it was discussed extensively there and it helped me a lot. ngayon swabeng swabe ang gear shifting ko sa ek ko

[raine]

wala kasi akong makitang specs for manual transmission fluid, kahit sa manual na na download ko sa internet wala ring specs ang sabi lang Genuine honda transmission fluid.

[wrcastro_ph]

Nagpalit ako last time. Castrol mineral base oil lang pinalagay ko. Ok naman. Ikaw lang ba ang magpapalit(DIY)? or dadalin mo sa shop?

[scarab]

...err, stupid question. when you say M/T fluid, pareho lang yan pag sinabing nagpapalet ka ng gear oil?

Papalit sa sa gasoline station para madali, merong lifter at hindi problema ang used oil disposal.

[Psylocke]

sobra bang laki ang difference sa presyo ang Honda MTF?

[raine]

Already inquire sa honda makati, available ang MTF at reasonable naman angprice P280/liter, bili nalang ako doon at papalagay ko na lang sa gasoline station, tagal kasi hintay sa CASA at taga sa labor price.

[ian_rex]

raine, mahal yata ang 280/Liter. engine oil din naman yun. how did i know? back when i used to bring my civic 96 sa shop i asked the SA(service advisor).

tama si brainmafia, not because the label says Honda MTF it does mean it was manufactured by Honda-it is indeed marketed by Honda. check the label.

i have a fully synthetic motor oil from honda, sure the label all around is Honda but it is a tie-up between Honda and Idemitsu(the oil manufacturer).

scarab, oo. its the same.

[Psylocke]

mahal nga 280/liter....

but transmission oil is different from engine oil, different additives...

i suggest you get a non-honda gear oil instead, a cheap off-the-shelf gear oil from shell, caltex, etc...

[OTEP]

Gear oil is cheap. Php100++ per liter lang. I just had the Vitara m/t's gear oil changed on all gear oil areas early this year (front and rear differential, transfer case, and manual transmission).

Php280? Diba mas mahal pa sa ATF iyan? :lol:

page 138 of Honda Civic Owner's Manual (HCOM) Third Edition 10/98

HCOM recommends us to use API Service SG, SH or SJ rated motor oil with a viscosity of SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40...HCOM further states that the tansmission should be drained and refilled with new fluid according to the time and distance recommendations in the maintenance schedule(every 24 months or 40tkm whichever comes first)

nahalungkat ko iyan dito:
Gear Oil Suggestion

...err, stupid question. when you say M/T fluid, pareho lang yan pag sinabing nagpapalet ka ng gear oil?

*scarab, yes... we used to use the same engine oil for the transmission oil for our honda. given it's a m/t.

[vinj]

Had the tranny fluid on my Civic changed a month ago. I used 2 Liters of the regular Motul motor oil (this was P230.00 per Liter) + P250.00 for the labor at Speedyfix. If I opted for full-synthetic, it would cost P380.00 per liter.

[speedyfix]

the really cheap gear oil is the monograde stuff from caltex etc... not that good imo.

[bratski]

Dunno about other brands but sa honda kasi it would be wiser to put in honda fluids. sa crv a/t ko I tried other brands na dexron 3 hindi compatible, erratic shifting etc.I ended up buying honda atf which is P560/liter taga man at least mas swabe yung shifting pattern.Now to find out who the Honda supplier is
