What a butthole. I have the same question. One guy at the Honda place said
to use regular 10-30w because they didn't have the Honda gear oil. But on
here I read once to only use honda fluids exp in the Trans (and Manual
trans)...

The manual is correct. Quit going to the dealership who told you to use
motor oil in a late model Honda. At least in my manual, it says that
motor oil can be used only in emergencies.

Why call him that? He's just telling the guy to look in his manual and
why not?

The information re: recommended oil/fluid changes is in the
manual...he doesn't have to ask here and waste bandwidth.
