10w30 or Honda MTF. Since tranny is 13 years old, the MTF is not gonna make
a difference now. -- Charles Tague 93 Honda Civic DX HB 1.6L SOHC VTEC 14.85 @ 89 mph,1.98 60 ft.

Re: 91 civic tranny oil?
If you have manual tranny then put regular motor oil like 10W-40 or 10W-30
(92-95 Civic Specs) If you have automatic then there is Honda ATF. I am not sure if you can substitute it with Dexron III or other ATF. I would think you cannot.

The regular engine oil has changed though and is not really suitable any longer. Use the Honda MTF.

I checked the manual on my 'newer' honda yesterday and it said to use 2quarts of 10w-30 or 10w-40 (depending on the temps you drove in).

Current engine oils are just not suitable for a gearbox any longer. Rgds, George Macdonald "Just because they're paranoid doesn't mean you're not psychotic" - Who, me??

Re: 91 civic tranny oil?
For the minor cost difference of the Honda MTF fluid, get it, and your
tranny will thank you. Black Baja wrote: > I read somewhere that honda uses regular engine oil for their transmissions > in the 91 civic. > Should i do this or use specific transmission oil? > > Winnoc > >

Re: 91 civic tranny oil?
so what is so different about motor oil nowadays that it is no so good for
the tranny's gears? I thought all the new oils exceed previously issued standards...
