It’s been exactly 3,000km since I started driving the Integra. I had changed the engine oil, but hadn’t done the transmission oil yet, so I changed it at this timing
Like engine oil, this kind of maintenance is highly recommended to do yourself, as you can work on it whenever you feel like it
I put the car up on jack stands, removed the 17mm filler port bolt on the right side facing the engine, then removed the transmission oil drain bolt located below. The MOTUL GEAR FF-LSD TYPE20 that flowed out still looked clean, but when I brought it under the light, it was quite dirty as you can see in the photo
I made sure to replace the washers on both the filler port bolt and drain bolt with genuine parts. No worries
Once fully drained, I inserted a hose from the engine side into the transmission oil filler port and poured in the new transmission oil to complete the change
- LINK-OIL R7590-Gspec
I tried the above transmission oil this time, and the gears shift smoothly with excellent results. Transmission oil changes are directly noticeable, so the satisfaction level is high
Since it’s reasonably priced, as long as there are no issues with deterioration, I plan to change it frequently just like the engine oil
