          I use OEM honda fluid, i just change more regularly than specified
          DC2R takes 2.2 - 2.3L i believe
          $11-12 per litre i think

              Oh just on a sidenote..

              Before I started using Royal Purple I've used Redline and Syntrax I prefer Syntrax.. I've always had better results.. especially when you have LSD..

                When in doubt, use OEM is always my advise.
                I am using OEM, no problems with it, and the price is right.

                  oem ftw.

                  but when i lived in Canada, I used the GM syncromesh friction modified, and that worked very very very well.

                  Don't know if I can find the stuff here though

                        I also used this in the dc2r and it made a truely obvious difference.

                            yeah I use to use Motul 300 oil when I owned a B16A CRX, was great oil, worth the extra $$$

                            for the typeR though I just use Honda

                              i actually had quite a lot of problems when i used castrol syntrax..
                              it caused my gears to crunch quite a bit..
                              i tried it twice..

                              using motul ive had no problems =)
