I'm taking my car home tomm. from rebuilding the motor & all my manuals are in the car. Does anyone know roughly about how many quarts of oil the manual tranny can hold up to the fill hole?

Mine takes about two and a half quarts (which agrees well with the factory service manual).

Yeah, about 2 and a half quarts should be what it takes, the filling location can be difficult to get to however, so i would advise getting a funnel with a hose at the end.

Another thing, I recomend using honda mtf instead of motor oil in the trans. I know it's not required, but it does seem to function a little better in my opinion.

Say you were to use motor oil. What type should one use? 10w 30? or what?

I run sythetic 10w30, but little thicker oil IMO should be better.
