Tranny fluid question

Hi there. Im hopefully going to trade my truck in soon for a new civic and was wondering. I've read alot post on this site about switching the manual tranny fluid over to Amsoil synchromesh. I am just curiuos. Does this car have to take a synchromesh oil or could it also take Redline MT-90 transmission oil. Thank for your time guys.

i believe that your gonna be fine with the redline mt-90 fluid although dont quote me on it.

IMO...spend the money and get the amsoil synchromesh fluid because there are so many posts about how good it is...you cant go wrong w/ getting it.

What about the ATs? Does amsoil make tranny fluid for AT? Has anybody changed their AT fluid to Amsoil or any other brands other than the oem?

yea...they tend to overflow the MTF when it comes from factory. So if you start having problems or if your gears feel crunchy get the amsoil. You can even change it yourself. quote "it is stupid easy" lolz. you'll just need a fluid transfer pump and the crush washers. There some DIY n that here or you can call me and i'll charge you $10,000 for the fluid change lolz (0__+)

Can you not use the existing washers on the drain plug? Or are they new good after the plug is removed?
