I got to drive one of those at work, awesome cars. Does it have Navi? The one I drove surprised the hell out of me when a backup camera turned on when I put it in reverse. Awesome car, good luck with it.

If it's manual, just use the MTF fluid an nothing else, had a few people come in, buy regular ATF without asking us or telling us what kind of car they have, and come back about 6 months later cursing us cause it made their transmission shift irratically. (MTF as well, you can use 10w30 or 10w40, but after a while it'll make shifting a little harder.)

Not sure who us is, but I have a Honda-auto in my Vue and have used Amsoil ATF with great success. The new Honda ATF-DW1 is what I will use after my supply of Amsoil is done.

Congrats Matt- That was always my favorite style TL. I drove an automatic Type-S and that thing was pretty dang fast!

in a 6 sp manual?

the t-56 takes dextron III atf :willy:

this thing:

Manual Transmission Fluid

Type Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF)

Note: If Honda MTF is not available, you may use an SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 viscosity motor oil with the API Certification seal that says "FOR GASOLINE ENGINES" as a temporary replacement. However, motor oil does not contain the proper additives, and continued use can cause stiffer shifting. Replace as soon as it is convenient.

The transmission should be drained and refilled with new fluid according to the time and distance recommendations in the maintenance schedule.
