A couple of questions:

Does anyone see a problem with using Motul's 10w40-rated transmission fluid? I would think it's close enough to Honda's recommended spec, but just want to be sure I'm not putting in anything too thick or thin.

Do the drain plug and fill plug both take crush washers? Earlier in this thread, it was stated that it's a 17mm washer, but I'm not sure whether that's the fill or drain. Could be that they're both the same size, but I'm not sure. If you know, let me know.

Lastly, anyone know the correct torque spec for retightening the bolts?
