Which Manual Transmition Fluid for K series

[Wlee2]

in all seriousness the way the wrote that is to avoid anyone coming back saying that their oil sucks.. more so than the actual life the oil gives to the gearbox..

i dont agreee to the change every 2000km.. even i gone over that already.. and i changed my oil just 3 weeks ago

using Any oil in your gearbox thats not approved by honda would effectively void your warrantee regardless..

just use OEm MTf..if you worry to much you might as well use OEm stuff atleast then if something goes wrong you can always just tell honda their oil sucks =P

Improved durability in high-performance use is the primary benefit of the Heavy ShockProof™ and along with the improved durability is an improvement in efficiency, but if further improvements in efficiency are desired, and durability is not a major concern, LightWeight and SuperLight ShockProof™ can be used.

this particular comment doesnt read "IF you DONT care about durability"

its starts of saying for IMPROved Durability in high performance use, then moves on to say if you want a bit more efficiency and durability is not a major concern"

i still dont see where it says the part about not caring about durability..

from what i read it sounds more like its atleast on par or higher than using OEM mtf atleast thats how it reads to me..

[tinkerbell]

so i believe im right in the way ive read it!!!
instead of laughing tell me you interpretation

the .PDF says that Heavy duty is BEST for 'durability' at the expense of 'efficency'

then it says if 'durability' is not main priority, the lighter weights can be used to improve 'efficency'

reading the whole .PDF indicates that use of shockproof oil will greatly improve durability, compared to petrolium based oils.

so durability is greatly improved, but when comparing heavy duty to super light, some durability will be sacrificed for greater efficency...

do you follow?

thats exactly what I understood, which is vaig. Doesnt really said anything but words no numbers. ( this is better than that, but not as good in this ETC) So I called. I thats what they told me.

[tinkerbell]

well, if that is what they told you, then i guess you should not use it as you don't have a race car.

durability is not a major concern = not caring about durability, I said this mind you of the top of my head not quoting. So relax.
Why u guys giving me a hard time. I started the thread to research the shit. not to bag oils out FFS!!

like i said 2 post ago..
if your worried about it

JUST USE OEM MTF. like tinks said.

dont even research as anything other than honda "approved" liquids will prolly just void your warranty.

[tinkerbell]

So relax.

sorry, i didn't mean to give you a hard time, however, i am just a bit surpised at the information that you are relaying from Redline.

Ester-based and 100% synthetic, GEAR 300 is formulated for gearboxes and rear axles, especially for competition cars - racing circuit, rallies and endurance trails.

nah you better not.. it was made for competition cars racing circuits.. sounds to me that its made for performance and durability is not a major concern as well....

as for giving you a hard time.. we give everyone a hard time.. you dont wanna be singled out now do you?..

[PolitoHood]

unfortunately sarcasm doesnt come out well on typing..

but if you didnt notice i was imitating you..


and not to mention i think you need to look up the definition for compatibility.. just because its compatible does not make it some "super duper god type gearbox oil"
