Honda recomends You buy thier fluid. You do not only have to use Honda gear oil. There are much better lubricants than Honda. I use Royal Purple synthetic in my car . I have also used Mobile 1 sythetic. You will probably need GL-4 or GL-5. Ask your dealer for the weight then you can find a product better than what honda offers. I have never had any problems
