Honda MTF in mine, best oil to use for any honda tranny. But running 10w30 is still fine but 2L of Honda MTF isn't quite expensive anyhow so I would use that

BTW Your post is some what confusing

10W30 is Honda approved as a suitable replacement in an emergency... but Honda MTF will result in the smoothest of shifts. I tried 10W30, it makes shifting notchy

LOL, I was cruizing this Ford board to look for a 5.0 stang to buy, and I loved it! Funny cuz it's true... when those V8s run, they rape us... but the thing is, they only run about 30 % of the time... we run 100% all the time.... yeah baby!!

tempos are disposable Fords in general fail on most things... like **** will just fall off of it for no reason... like foglight lenses will just fall out one day... and isht like that. Stuff you forget you had on the car will one day just appear in your driveway after it falls off the car. But in terms of price for speed, the Ford foxbody is one tough deal to beat. And if you are like me and don't mind **** falling off your car, then it makes it economically feasable.

Ya, I noticed my car has just over 100K on it, and I swear it drives like brand new... could be cuz I have brand new everything on it though and I baby the ****** like I hand built it or something ... hard to tell why it's so fookin mint of a ride.
