Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 2006Oil Change Interval - Manual Trans.
Anybody know what the transmission oil change interval is for the '99 Civic? I looked in my owner's manual and can only find it specified for automatic transmissions. The (free) owner's link maintenance schedule accessible via http://automobiles.honda.com/ says it's 90k miles/6 years, whichever comes first, for your 99 Civic's manual transmission oil. > Anybody know what the transmission oil change interval is > for the '99 Civic?

It is extremely easy to do. Honda recommends using their fluid. I noticed a big difference in shifting when I changed mine at 100K. Probably the first it had been done (I bought it used). You should replace the crush washers. The lower one is the same size as the oil drain plug. The upper one is larger and probably doesn't really need to be changed.

I'll second the vote for replacing it every 30K however I like to replace both washers. Eric I gotta ask. Why? I have never changed oil in a manual transmission and I have never had a problem in over, ah?, 250,000 miles. It doesn't wear out. It shouldn't get "dirty." >Anybody know what the transmission oil change interval is for the '99 Civic? >I looked in my owner's manual and can only find it specified for automatic >transmissions. > > > I gotta ask.

It gets full of the products of friction, and there's no FILTER. Best reason to change it: Everybody who does it says: "HEY, IT SHIFTS BETTER ! ! I'M SO GLAD I DID IT ! ! !" 'Curly' > It doesn't wear out. Actually, the oil does wear. Viscosity changes and additives become depleted just for starts. > It shouldn't get "dirty." Sure enough it does. Where to you think the wear particles from the transmission end up? Change it sometime and see what lovely stuff comes out of there!

According to Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers, the contaminants are the problem. See: http://cars.cartalk.com/content/advice/transmissionfluid.html Elliot Richmond Itinerant astronomy teacher |
