What different types of oil can my D17A1 5 SPEED transmission grt away with using when in a pinch short on money and standard 10w30 and 40 are not available and yes Honda mTf N/A as well im more curious of what others can be used such 5w20 full synthetic from vavoline. (Remember this is when in a pinch like having to drive a 2200 mile trip situation.

It can’t be that hard to find 10W30 oil . Where are you that it is a problem ? Why not just buy a couple of extra quarts and keep them in the trunk ?

Where do you live that you don’t have an automotive chain store or a Walmart?
