The invoice that came in the box says "Syn Manual Trans Fluid 5w-30." Is this ok? I'm probably just over concerned but I love my SI!
Thanks.

MTF is the proper fluid... it is a 5W-20 and should AbsolutelyNEVER be mixed with MTG.. Had someone email me on that...

The specs from Honda are so loose on this application, there is almost no concern what you put in it but, using the proper fluid will insure good shifting and a long life as long as it is not abused.
