Is there a way to ensure proper fluid level?just measure how much you drain and pour back the same. was 1.9qts in my case
Manual transmission don’t burn oil, so unless it is leaking - amount should be close to 2qt. Drain, measure, put back in same volume. Problem solvedIs there a way to ensure proper fluid level?
I would like to take the opportunity to make sure the transmission has the right amount of MTF.
Thanks for your information. I was concerned about its performance in cold weather.I replaced the original MTF with Amsoil MTF in august 2018. I removed the airbox to replace the original bushings by Acuity.
It's much better. Some say that Amsoil is not good in winter where it is cold.
I have not found a difference,and yet here, believe-me, we are cold in winter.
No, it's notThanks for your information. I was concerned about its performance in cold weather.
Does anyone know if Honda OE MTF is full synthetic?
I just finished changing my transmission fluid and didn't take a picture, but as Tenshi wrote, it's the only 10mm bolt in the pattern. I poured the whole 2 quarts of Amsoil in and didn't notice anything come out of the level check hole, though. Haven't driven the car yet but will report back later on what differences if any I notice in the shifting.@Tenshi
Thank you for this write up. Exactly what I was looking for.
Just wondering if anyone had a chance to take a picture of the fill check bolt . I had a look at the exploded diagram as per the fill washer link but I'm quite insecure and am looking for a 'double confirm' ?
So a dealer is claiming AMSOIL and killed an Si transmission and voided the warranty, new post on the 10th gen performance FB page by Adam Klimek, here's the text from the post since FB is a pain to find stuff on.Looks like this was brought up and covered in another thread: https://www.civicx.com/threads/my-shiny-new-knob-update-on-last-page-hd-pics.16950/page-4
Think you should be good to go if you want to make the switch.
My 19 Si has 14k miles on it. Thought about making the switch since I have that 1st to 2nd crunch. It's really noticeable sometimes. Think we should hold off from the switch then?So a dealer is claiming AMSOIL and killed an Si transmission and voided the warranty, new post on the 10th gen performance FB page by Adam Klimek, here's the text from the post since FB is a pain to find stuff on.
"As some of you may know my transmission failed the other day. I got the chance to tear it down today to find out that 1st and 2nd destroyer eachother. Everything was under warranty even with being FBO and with a Type R clutch. What voided the warranty and caused the trans to fail you may ask? Amsoil synchromesh according to Honda’s field service engineer. $2,700 for a rebuild is what I’ve been quoted. $3,800 for a new one or I can get a built one for $4,200. I should have the car back on the road Monday."
No idea! I'm not very knowledgeable about oils. The OP from the FB post made it sound like they were only blaming the fluid so he wouldn't void the entire powertrain warranty since he was FBO.My 19 Si has 14k miles on it.
