Appreciate all the replies. Does anyone know the weight of the Honda MTF and the recommendation from Honda for what weight oil should go in the transmission? I see a lot going with different Brand 75w-90 oils which is cool I’m just wondering if that’s the actual weight of Honda MTG as well

Somewhere around there I believe. I’m not too impressed with the shift feel of this car though, especially cold. No grinds or pop outs but it feels like something catches going into gear sometimes. Especially 3rd and 4th for me. Mostly low speed driving. Driving spiritedly and when...

Changing the trans fluid on my FL5 soon. Been reading a ton of different recommendations for different types of trans fluids. I’m looking to go with Amsoil but can someone confirm which Amsoil product? I’ve seen a bunch say Amsoil MTF but then other say that it’s not the correct weight so you...

good to see I’m not the only one at least lol definitely unsettling to see but the car drives fine so chalking it up to a new motor still breaking in and I’ll see how it is at my 9k mile oil change

Appreciate it! I’m sure I’m being overly paranoid!

I did read about that. I’ve heard nothing but good things about this oil though and have used it before in my S2000 without issue. My car has the ecu unlocked and tuned through Hondata so I’m pretty sure I voided the fuck out of my warranty already ?… I would never take my car back to Honda...

that’s good to know honestly. I’ll never go that long for an oil change. My typical interval is 3000 miles or once a year since I don’t drive my cars that often. this particular oil change just had a lot of firsts for me which I didn’t like. How thin the oil was and the small metallic flake was...

Appreciate the responses! I’m not sure why I’m being so paranoid about this car. Maybe because it’s the most money I’ve spent on a car lol. After this next 3000 miles I’m gonna do a lab analysis just for peace of mind. Just wanted to see your guys opinions on those concerns. Not sure how I...

Appreciate the reply! My next oil change I’ll go to 5w-30 then! I’m in Florida so the car has never seen sub freezing weather. Hell the car has never seen below 70 degrees ?. Is there a reason I would be smelling fuel in the oil then? i also can’t be positive about this because I use the same...

If I’m beating a dead horse, my apologies. I searched around and couldn’t really find anything pertaining to the FL5. Mainly found stuff pertaining to the SI and 1.5l engines. Changed my engine oil today after 3000 miles. Car currently has 6000 miles and I purchased it from a friend at 3000...

Currently just have the PRL HVI intake and tuned through @Jester04…30mpg is what I’m averaging per tank which I’m honestly shocked with lol. I do mostly highway though and keep it in 6th just cruising. I probably do one decent pull every time I drive it though and still average 30mpg

Can anyone advise what weight transmission oil is recommended for the FL5 from Honda? I’ve seen a ton of threads which say Honda recommends 75w-90 but then a lot of people say they use Amsoil MTF which is 5w-30??? I want to go to Amsoil but should I buy the Amsoil MTF or Amsoil severe gear...

I’ve also noticed a bit crunchier of a downshift from 3-2 occasionally..glad I’m not the only one! I don’t get any grinds at all but that 3-2 and occasionally 3-4 also just doesn’t feel right sometimes. My car has 5600 miles..going to switch to Amsoil 75w-90 gear oil soon and hopefully that...

Another thumbs up for Jester tuned here! Met with him today at the Hondata Jailbreak tour in Orlando and got his custom tune. Car drives incredibly smooth and pulls hard! For a stock car with just a tune..I’m very impressed. Very much looking forward to continue working with him once I get some...

yeah I’ve heard the 27Won RMM is on a different level in terms of vibration. I can’t really explain how the RMM changed the location of the vibration im feeling but it did. With the stock RMM I was getting this tiny but annoying vibration in the clutch pedal and steering wheel at takeoff. It...

**Update for anyone interested Since making this post I’ve installed the PRL HVI intake, Acuity cable shifter bushings, and Hasport 62A RMM. The PRL intake gives me all the noises my 12 year old self loves ?. Butt dyno says maybe a tiny increase in power up top but the intake and turbo sounds...

Currently own an FL5 and S2000. The S2000 is a forever car for me and someone one day will have to pry it from my cold dead hands! It’s an amazing car that provides such a unique sound and driving experience with the right mods. I’ve owned and driven much faster cars, to include the FL5, but...

I was actually very surprised when a dealer here in Orlando (Coggin Honda) allowed to me test drive a new one they just received. Was shocked actually cause not one previous dealer would allow one. I was genuinely gonna buy the one I test drove also but we couldn’t agree on price.

Gotcha..I’m hoping the stiffer rear motor mount fixes some of that slop in the drivetrain which from what I hear it does wonders…after driving @Jester04 car it felt really good with the stiffer rmm and acuity shifter bushings..looking forward to my car feeling the same

gotcha..haven’t noticed it but I’ll watch for it next time. so you’ve noticed what I’m talking about on auto rev downshifts? I’ve only really noticed it downshifting into 3rd and 2nd when the rpm’s drop to 3k or 4k..the auto rev match is smooth but the car kinda bucks after I let the clutch all...
