Yesterday, a bunch of us responded to BAS900 regarding his questions about proper fluids. I think it was Simon S mentioned that 10W-30 motor oil is no longer recommended for the manual trans gearbox because of lower zinc levels. Can Simon or someone explain what the problem is with motor oil with lower zinc levels and its affect on manual transmissions to convince me to use Honda MTF? Mine is due for a change. How do I get all of the old oil out? Thanks for your input!!!
