What do you mean, "Honda manual transmission fluid" -- I wasn't aware that any late model Hondas offered a manual transmission option.

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.

My old burb was designed for Dex III. I have of course been using Dex-6 on the occasional drain and fill. I went to the store to buy some Dex 6 the other day and all they had was a synthetic Dex-6/Merc-LV. I read the label and it reads like a fluid that replaces the above two plus some import fluids. I suppose I will run it and not worry about it. But, as a general rule, I haven't been a big fan of the multi use fluids.
probably does not matter at this point but dex 6 was not backwards compatible with dex 3 at least not in the Allison transmissions dex 6 would damage the seals for some reason there was a certain manufacturer date for the change over, look for the material standard number if it is on the bottle it should be ok .
