Read the article again. He said (and I will confirm this, being a
Honda owner also) that Honda manual transmissions take motor oil.
No statement was made concerning transmissions in general.
Try reading your owner's manual. And don't assume that all cars
are the same.

and thought they'd given her a spare motor in the back?)
