As I stated in the above post #4150957, the Honda OEM MTL IS a synchromesh fluid.

A synchromesh fluid is a dedicated MTF that has a specific additive package for the synchronized MT's.

I would not mix the fluids for various reasons. Use the Amsoil product.


Thanks for the reply.. i actually asked amsoil about mixing and the tech said its alright to mix but still recommends using pure amsoil mtf..

Or some ATF . Check the lube level. It may be low.
