Which transmission fluid do you use?

Again, I haven't changed mine yet, but, I plan on running Honda MTF.
Oil: Amsoil 10w30 synthetic
Trans: Currently Honda MTF, already have Amsoil synchromesh to go in. Supposedly Honda MTF is better for cooler weather, Amsoil for warmer
Diff: Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-110

Haven't done trans or diff yet. Will put amsoil in both
I don't how you guys are using Mobil 1. My AP1 drank it like an african swallow gargles nectar

Switching to Amsoil cut down on consumption a lot, and the recent valve adjustment seems to have helped too.

Also for the diff...you need a weird size wrench for the drain bolt so get ready for that. Think it was a 23mm

Also. Heres the verdict. I have 17x9 +35 wheels. I'm not all into stance etc but I want the car to remain functional. 255/40/17 for the rear. I want something equally beefy for the front.

I'm looking at two different tires because of the price through my brothers work. One is the Nitto NT05 and the other is the BFG Sport Comp 2. Car isn't daily driven and nor is it a race car. I just want a decent tire.

Wasn't me, just don't know if I should have it fixed or bend it out and buy some strakes for it or what ever they're called.

I used an adjustable wrench for that bolt lol.

And my car seemed to burn more on Mobil1 too. Since I switched to Motul, the oil level hasnt dropped so far in 2800 miles.

May switch oils then, although I haven't noticed any difference in levels yet.

I've heard that Mobil 1 seems to just run right through F20C's like greasy mexican food, but it seems to be on a case by case basis.

Guys if you haven't done any valve adjustments I suggest you do it. Makes one hell of a difference in noise and feels much more smoother.
