I bought the car not too long ago, it has a perfectly clean oil in the tranny which im guessing is honda mtf. The engine has 5w30 castrol synthetic. Should I try changing the tranny oil? theres a small sticker the previous owner put on the head which says Microlon treated drivetrain.. never thought about that till now. I know better not to put anything in the tranny oil.

gears will grind if the gear lube in the trans is to thick, and never put any lucas or any type of thick honey type fixer upper stuff in it.
