Best manual transmission oil for a Civic?
 

I've got a 02 high milage Civic and want to change out the transmission oil
on my 5sp. I've have used REDLINE MTL in my passed cars and it did great so
what's best to use in my Civic. The Honda 5sp factory oil or any other
suggestions. Thanks for any advice.

you used to be able to use ordinary engine oil, but since formulations
have changed, you're best off using the honda manual transmission fluid
that /does/ have the correct additives.
