transmission oil change civic 2000 se manual
hey guys
I have a 2000 civic se , 168 k, I bought it when it had 145 k . I m not sure if they ever changed the tranny oil in this car. Car is manual , I m wondering if I change it now its too late. I know with automatic thats what most people say. I m not very sure whats the rule for manuals Any help will be welcome Thanks! |
what do you mean to late, its never to late to change a fluid in a car...unless its old and beat up to **** and the fluids that are in it are keeping the seals shut
|
change the fluid ASAP for peice of mind...manual I'd go oe honda or redline mt90
|
if you having any hard shiftings issues, try the gm synchromesh friction modified , might be threads on it here plenty on ht.
|
If I remember my old 98 Civics manual, the tranny fluid should be changed every 48,000ks. If I had an older vehicle, I would change ALL of the fluids just to be safe. Oil, tranny, coolent, brake/clutch.
Honda fluids as the bare minimum at least. I use Amsoil products, but eveyone has their own favourites. |
I don't have a 98, but I do change my tranny fluid every year ( I know its overkill, but I don't care). Honda MTF works great. However, I'm with Dubassi. I only use amsoil products as well. I currently use Amsoil Syncromesh, and it works better than Honda MTF, but Honda MTF by no means is bad at all. I find Amsoil Syncromesh provides smoother shifts. However, since I have an 04 and you have a 98, results may differ. Anways, get that fluid changed ASAP.

i change mine every year before the summer

Change over asap, and you'll never look back. For best results, change your motor oil, as well as the tranny fluid.
