Hello im looking at replacing the oil in my trans and have looked all around on genvibe and have found alot of info for the 5 speed but not alot for the 6. i was wondering whats best to run in that trans. i have found alot of people recomend red line 75w90 gl-4 gear oil. is that what i should use and also how much dose that trans require thanks for your help

Redline is great

Amsoil severe gear is good too

I can only weigh in on my experience with the 5-speed but yes the Redline MT-90 (GL-4) gear oil helped shifting at lower temperatures much better than the Valvoline 75W90 (GL-5) I had originally put in. The owners manual should tell you how much to put in when doing a simple drain and refill.

Redline MT-90. Easy choice.
I attribute the longevity of my 'doomed to fail' 5-speed to this stuff.

I had an 03 GT 6spd...I used Honda Manual trans fluid..it shifted perfectly cold or hot. Bought it at the Honda dealer but a good euro parts store will carry it. Highly recommended by some Honda 'experts' I know.

i just ordered 3 quarts of red line and a pump to re fill with
waiting on ups now

I use Royal Purple Max Gear 75W-90. Loving in NWFL we don't see a lot of cold weather. Works great, smooth shifts.

Pump to refill? Huh?

Yea it fills from the side so im goina pump it in so it dosnt spill all over

put the red line in last night , deff shifts noticably better . its about 10-20 % easier to get into 1st & R , jams 2nd a little easier too . deff recomended !
