gearbox oil

[ghibril]

hi guys!

since theres already a thread for engine oil, why not we have another one on gearbox oil

so all of you honda owners out there, what is your choice of oil for lsd or non lsd gear box?

theres alot of choices ranging from motul to penzoil, redline ....

(motul has the most expensive price if im not mistaken)

i'm using castrol LSX for my LSD gearbox...engaging gear during startup is a bit stiff...but after a while bcame smooth....neway my mech says just use engine oil for the gearbox...it's ok haa to use engine oil? what u all think?

i strongly recommend u guys to use MTF-III LSD HONDA made in Japan, it's a 4l metal tank. it costs arounfd RM210, but I got 1 from jalan ipoh Lin Hup Seng for RM185, i think it's well worth to the best protection and performance of yr LSD gearbox man... u'll feel the difference!!!

Hi,

But some how i heard that honda gear box cannot use other type of gear oil, unless using back from Honda 1 is better.. Is it true? Coz many of honda owner use other type of gear oil, then cause the gear box sppoill... how u all think.. sorry i new to Honda.. pls advice...

for Honda ride (previous generation City/Jazz/Fit) with CVT gearbox, pls use only genuine Honda CVTF. come in 3.5 ltr bottle.

for older version la lets say eg, one of my friend use the toyota lsd oil

he told me that the tokey said to him that toyota lsd gb oil can still be used with honda's gb

dunno true or not?

i hv tried other oil on my B18C, but i felt abit stiffness evertime when i change the gear especially starting from gear 1, until i use MTF-III Honda genuine oil. Since then, it goes smooth~~~ prescious yr LSD gear box m8, it deserves better oil!!!

the MTF-III is 4 liter... but our gearbox use only 2 liter rite? exactly how long can the oil can be use before changing it? i usually change every 20k km....

I would use only Honda recommended gear oil. They manufactured the gears so they know what oil is best. I haven't broken a gearbox yet because i use their oil....

 

[Andres]

Ya... I heard from many foreman, Honda gearbox better dont use other brand gear oil especially the auto transmission 1... Must use back Honda 1...

 

[elsquare10]

yeah, MTF-III is 4 L, u can keep the rest until u next change, or share with frens (same user), i normally change the oil once in 6 mths.

What oil to use for non-lsd gb b16a?

 

[freeman1314]

I've been using motul lsd(the RM108) ones.
And up till now no complains, anyone tried before and compare to genuine honda and Kaaz?
I've never tried other brands so cant really compare.

 

[egiewan]

Yup it's true....for Honda's, either you use the ori gb oil from Honda or use 15w50 engine oil for non-lsd and 10w60 for lsd gearbox :-)
