Toyota like so many other manufacturers is using 'sealed' transmissions with fluid that supposedly never requires/requires infrequent changing. With the 2018 Camry 2.5L engine, the factory fill motor oil is now 0w-16 (and per the manual is the ONLY oil to be used unless you can't find 0w-16, which is just appearing in the US market). Hard to wrap my head around, but Toyota has been using 0w-16 on its Japanese vehicles for 2 decades. Guess we'll see how it plays out, especially driving in Florida in the summer months.
Our 2014 Honda Accord specifies 0W-20. I use Mobile One Synthetic 0W-20.
Same here with the Mobil One full synthetic. I don't trust Honda manual transmission fluid, so after breaking the car in, I immediately dumped the factory gear fluid and put in Penzoil Synchromesh gear fluid, and the shifts are smoother, and the engine revs more freely.
What do you mean, "Honda manual transmission fluid" -- I wasn't aware that any late model Hondas offered a manual transmission option.
The Civic SI is manual transmission only.
