Dude, start in first gear. I don't care if you're on an decline or not. This is not a 1970 pickup truck with granny low. This was answered perfectly already: And you just want to continue to argue. Definition of an askhole.

Regarding trans fluid change intervals, here's an interesting clip from Lake Speed Jr on the how and why of it: Going to add this to the OP as well.

I added a bunch of information on this sourced from the owner's manual to the OP.

So what I'm getting out of this is: the longest interval that the digitized reminder in the car will fire off at is 60k?

Where specifically does this 60k figure come from? Google has people saying 30k, 60k, 100k. I believe the manual is silent on the issue, so it must come from some other document. If there's a verified source for it, I will add it to the OP. ETA: the manual is not silent on the issue, added...

I'm using a fluid that specifically bills itself as a direct replacement for "Honda/Acura Genuine MTF". If Honda doesn't like that, they're going to get sued. The implication here being I should delete this thread. Instead, I'm going to delete you. Welcome to the ignore list guy!

They don't list STF there, which is kind of absurd considering it's specifically listed to meet GM/Mopar manufacturer specs and nothing else.

There's always somebody on an enthusiast forum who feels the need to say "don't modify your car! the warranty! the warrantyyyyyyyyyy!" Maybe just don't volunteer that information to the dealer and they won't know. Pretty simple! A lot of people on here are trying to get more longevity out of...

Just to add to the Ravenol pile (holy hell do they have a lot of different gear oils) I want to point out "Ravenol STF Synchromesh Transmission Fluid", because it's specifically listed as a direct replacement for GM 12377916, which is the old part number for Synchromesh friction modified. It's...

Very curious to hear what you think about BG in these transmissions. In the Mustang S550 world, it's very popular in the MT-82 trans.

When I was putting this list together, I did try to include Ravenol but at the time, I couldn't find consistent viscosity numbers. I was able to find this English-language spec sheet: https://tampereenoljytukku.com/wp-content/uploads/TDS-MTF-2-SAE-75W-80.pdf Which gives these specs: So...

There's definitely daily driver performance left on the table by switching away from the OEM fluid. Redline MTL just feels so much smoother in the synchro engagement, and it's really felt with less aggressive shifting. ACDelco 10-4014 reportedly has the same effect. Both can be had for about...

I just jack my car up to put it on ramps. Same situation. I just use the ramps backwards since the jack ends up being where the sloped part of the ramp would be otherwise.

I have multiple jacks but it's a PITA. You can get two jack stands under the front pinch welds without resorting to using the inconveniently placed center jacking point behind the engine. ONLY DO THIS ON FLAT, LEVEL CONCRETE WITH THE CAR IN 1ST/REVERSE AND PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. Jack one of...

One nice thing about these cars (until it isn't and you're overheating) is that the transmission "cooler" is actually a heat exchanger that works with the engine coolant. So idling the car warms both, whereas ordinarily you'd need to actually drive a manual car a good distance in order to warm...

If it feels like it shifts fine when cold (whatever cold means where you are) then I wouldn't worry that much about it. Our transmissions do have a pump, and one thing that you have to be aware of with cold temps and thick fluid is cavitation in gerotor pumps. If it was really an issue, you'd...

If you are tracking your car, Motul 75W-90 is probably a great option. I can't specifically speak to it and I included it in my list of suitable fluids. One thing about the Motul product is that it's claimed to be suitable for both GL-4 and GL-5 gear oil applications. That's not to say it's...

Well it's not 75W-90 for starters. It's closer to 75W-80. OEM Honda MTF is closer to a 70W-75. There's too much misinformation in this thread, including people recommending that you use GL-5 gear oil meant for hypoid differentials, which is fully regarded. That's why I started this thread...

This post is intended to be a one-stop collection of info about changing the transmission fluid in the FL5 CTR or DE5 Integra Type S. Important: when changing transmission, transfer case, or differential fluid, ALWAYS REMOVE THE FILL PLUG FIRST. If you drain your transmission and then come to...

I'm faulting this: This is a completely unlikely culprit for any issue with symptoms of a clutch that's not fully disengaging.
