Hi, I've just bought a 2005 Honda 1.4 Jazz for my wife and I am in the process of servicing it fully.
I've done the plugs (
, oil and filter, air filter and would like to change the gearbox oil as the car has done 95k .
It would appear from reading on the forum that people insist on using Honda gearbox oil.
I honestly have no problem whatsoever in buying this if there is a legitimate reason ie no other oil manufacturer does Honda's specific requirement but I honestly cannot see this being the case.
My question:-
What specification oil does the manual gearbox require and has anyone else used a non Honda branded oil of the correct spec without adverse effects.
At present the gearbox is absolutely perfect with no untoward noises and very slick changes.
Thanks in advance
