Best comment on KZbin yet! Thank you for your honesty and sharing this with me! Happy I was able to help!!!

[@2strokeFORever]

Amen dude this fluid is by far the best. I've tried at least 6 different fluids and this is by far the best for Honda gearboxes

[@ericsantibanez9351]

[@DC5RParts]

I bought a RSX TypeS in January and it needed some TLC, I did the fluid changes for the transmission and steering and I gotta say a world of a difference. This info is invaluable.

Honda engine builder 10years experience: Castrol/Amsoil/Liquid Moly/Eneos/RedLine are top brand Gear Oils you want the weight of 75w-90 with no GL-5/GL4 qualifying or any lsd-additives (for friction), because honda DC5R has a helical type diff. Honda synchros are coated with a Honda plastic compound(or carbon if your trans is built) they have no need for friction additives, Honda built them in mind to bump(why you hear and feel its crude to shift while cold or the occasional reverse grind) Synchromesh gear oil was designed for GM/FORD and generally have LSD friction additives.. I dont recommend using any oils that have friction additives for Honda's. Synchromesh gear oil's will quiet down the shifting because of the additives while also making it smoother but most of the PNR3 trans rebuilds are synchro rebuilds due to bad/cheap/incorrect gear oils being used. Good indication of a bad gear oil mix is if after a prolonged use when drained the gear oil has a funky/rotting smell to it. [EDIT] Also the honda MTF is not that good, any avid honda guy will remove that and never go back to it.

[@amirparvez5415]

Which one do you use exactly?

[@bulletauto2605]

@@amirparvez5415 for a Manual Honda Castrol Syntec Gear oil 75w-90 or Any will work without LSD friction additives and no GL4/GL1 (like GM's synchromesh, blew 2GSR trans and 1 K20) back of bottle should tell you additives 75w90 is basic gear oil, refinement synthetic and additives change friction properties why I recommend against, shifting smoothly doesn't mean ur transmission is working better

[@amirparvez5415]

@@bulletauto2605 I see , I'm trying to find the Castrol synthetic gear oil 75w90 but I'm having trouble trying to find one that's gl-3 compatible

[@bulletauto2605]

@@amirparvez5415 Sorry my original post was off, GL1/GL4 is what you dont want, GL5 etc type formula is in castrol and is also in Honda MTF,.. it's just duty type oil category GL1/GL4 etc dont know what gentleman GL3 oil is, but any black tag castrol syntec 75w90.. You can also try the new Honda MTF.. MTF3 green tag, good stuff too.

[@amirparvez5415]

@@bulletauto2605 ahh okay , thank you for taking the time to write all this 🙏 I appreciate it a lot. I also messed up on typing when I said castrol gentlemen 75w90 😂 meant to say gear oil lmao. I guess I'll just use the honda green label since it's easy to get

[@aaronlamont7259]

So happy I came across this video. Coming from a happy website customer. Keep up the good work my man

[@DC5RParts]

Thank you!

[@96Ferno]

Got myself into an 05 type S. 180k on it. Dunno when trans fluid was changed or IF it was. Been getting 3rd. gear grind from time to time and its annoying and definitely don’t want to mess up the transmission. I’ve been driving manual for 20+ yrs. and never had that experience. I use to own a first year S (02) when they where new so I’m familiar with the car. Thinking of changing the fluid to OEM. Besides the Ac Delco & MT… would changing to OEM also do the trick? I’m not racing it or anything like that. Just a daily.

[@RetroExhibitCollective]

Good video man! This is very helpful for my RSX. Appreciate your time doing this.

[@DC5RParts]

Thank you and You're welcome! Happy I was able to help!🤙🏻

[@donAKAthedonjp]

Thank you for this one. It's about time for me to do them both. Do you have those hood dampers on your website?

[@DC5RParts]

You're welcome! You'll notice the smooth shifting instantly. Yes, we do have them. They are in the drivetrain, exterior or interior sections but I'll link you below. Enjoy. dc5rparts.com/collections/parts/products/nrg-hood-shocks

[@oraiosokypreos]

I had a 5spd manual base rsx and I loved it. I have a 9th gen si now and I love it as well but the rsx was my first love lol

[@DC5RParts]

Hard to replace a RSX in your heart lol I get it

[@davidgonzalez5674]

This works for rsx base models?

[@adrianmosquea7298]

I know this is a old video but can I use this on my base model rsx? Manual ofc

[@suazinator]

Amsoil synchromesh vs acdelco synchromesh?

[@unique.collective]

you should do a video on replacing the taillight seals!

[@DC5RParts]

Stay tuned... 😉

[@c.garcia539]

May be a dumb question, but can i use this same trans fluid on my automatic rsx ?! If not… which trans fluid would you recommend ?

[@MrEGThug]

Where can i get my hands on that transmission fluid in canada? I checked with piston ring and the local GM store nada

[@tapemaster8252]

I was thinking of selling my rsx, you kinda make me wanna keep it 😀

[@doctordyl3105]

😂😂

[@johnadams3296]

Nono, you had the idea right the first time. I’ll give you 2Gs

[@davidgonzalez5674]

Can I use this in rsx base 5 speed?

[@zzheyuh00]

Thanks dude love your channel

[@DC5RParts]

You’re welcome man! Thank you for supporting me.

[@glenchitty1515]

Great job. Love the videos!!! Thanks

[@DC5RParts]

You're welcome, glad you're enjoying them!

[@SibSootEvoX]

Thanks again, very informative. Never tried AC Delco's fluid before, I'll definitely give it a try. Also what spray do you use to clean your engine bay?

[@DC5RParts]

You'll definitely be loving this fluid. Works wonders. I did a video about the engine clean up. Episode 1 of this build. First thing we did. I showed the product I use. Enjoy 👌🏻

[@nimbizzy7]

I hope this works! I have the 3rd gear problem on my rsx type s. Gonna replace the fluid sometime soon.

[@DC5RParts]

It works for many people, it's worth a shot! Check it out on our website. www.DC5RParts.com

[@nimbizzy7]

DC5R.Parts thanks for the instructive video

[@ccenda3109]

I have an automatic /: this fluid does work for automatic too right ?

[@DC5RParts]

No, manual only

[@honchoJAS]

Is that a k20a3 RSX?

[@slr7628]

Excellent video..my 06 type s just started doing the power steering pump whine.im only at 28k miles too.i have babied it and this is the first issue I’ve had.i ordered the orange o-ring and some Honda fluid but I clearly need some more bottles to do the flush lol I’m gonna try and do it tomorrow,thanks for the vids bro I appreciate them

[@ViperRoleplayfivem]

I have the same whine, i've replace the whine, flushed the fluid, used oem acura/honda fluid and replaced both the o rings no luck.

[@jdm68]

Can anyone attest to the longevity of Acdelco, I replaced my OEM fluid with royal purple and it’s been okay, I didn’t have any grinding but the occasional pop out so I figured why not change it, I’m going to be changing it again and would prefer to find what works best but their are a million opinions on this topic. Mainly between amsoil, Honda green label MTF, and acdelco, so has anyone tried all 3? Or used acdelco for a long enough time to give an opinion on performance and longevity.

[@DC5RParts]

I used all of three fluids. ACDelco solved my pop out and grinding issues. I’ve been running it for over 4 years now. Butter. Don’t hesitate

[@doctordyl3105]

What about amsoil or gm synchromesh?? Those any good or is the acdelco better? Thanks!

[@DC5RParts]

I’ve tried the Amsoil, AC Delco felt better with no decrease in feel after 1k miles like the amsoil did

[@doctordyl3105]

@@DC5RParts thanks for the info! I already used the amsoil so far so good. I may eventually switch to the acdelco tho now. I also plan on getting the taillight gaskets off of your website soon. Thanks again!

[@SharkMate1012]

Where did you buy the pump that you used for the MTF?

[@yonodc5705]

Dc5parts.com of course! 🤣

[@dankdc5_]

Better than redline?

[@DC5RParts]

Never really tried redline. Is it a synchromesh fluid too?

[@giovanniperez7309]

Hey man i just changed my trans fluid, same stuff, but now when i shift into 3rd gear it seems to be slightly harder, the gear feels really thick, different from all my other gears? Does it need time to break in or something?

[@DC5RParts]

Yes, give it some time to break in. Changing to this fluid with fix or remedy an existing issue but won't completely fix it. 9/10 people experience good results. Just give it time. 👌🏻

@@giovanniperez7309 heard someone say it didnt really fix the issue at first but a couple months later they said no more 3rd gear grind

[@giovanniperez7309]

@@suazinator the 3rd gear popping out definitely got fixed. by just switching the fluid.

[@elliot438bcfcVTEC]

You should never need anything other than Honda MTF in your gearbox. If you have issues then you need to fix your gearbox, different fluids will only mask the problems and they will continue to get worse. Another tip for the power steering is to attach the return pipe to a container whilst running the engine and turning the wheel, you just need an extra person to keep the reservoir topped up

[@DC5RParts]

Honda transmission Fluids are not the greatest, they have made revisions of their own fluid for a reason (Green Label). 90% of issues can be solved with a proper lubrication. In many of our cases, Getting a good quality fluid will solve exactly that. Of course if a transmission is broken. Fluid will not fix it. It's just not logical and no fluid on Earth will save it. Good tip on the PS for those who don't know. That's actually Honda's tech procedure. I did it on my blue DC5. The one showed on video is just another way. Thank you for watching

[@gohan1190]

Can this fluid be used on 02-04 type s?
