Honda Manual Transmission Fluid 08798-9031, 1 Quart OEM Formula — Smooth Shifting & Gear Protection

Designed and supplied by Honda as a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) product, this 1-quart manual transmission fluid replaces or replenishes the exact fluid your Honda vehicle was designed to use. Choosing the factory-specified fluid removes guesswork about compatibility, helps maintain the intended shift feel, and supports the transmission’s long-term performance when used according to the vehicle’s service schedule.

What makes this Honda manual transmission fluid different from aftermarket options?

This fluid is produced to Honda’s factory specifications, so its formulation, friction characteristics, and viscosity match the requirements set during vehicle development. That means consistent shift quality and predictable behavior across temperatures and driving conditions compared with generalized aftermarket blends.

• Factory-matched formulation engineered for Honda gearsets and synchros
• Controlled friction for the shift quality Honda expects
• Optimized viscosity range for reliable performance across operating temperatures

How will installing this fluid affect shifting and wear?

Using the OEM fluid helps maintain the transmission’s designed shift feel and can reduce harsh engagement or slipping caused by incompatible fluids. While not a guarantee against wear, correct fluid properties support proper lubrication of gears and synchros to help the gearbox operate as engineered.

• Improved shift consistency compared with non-specified fluids
• Lower fluid friction supports smoother gear changes
• Lubricant chemistry formulated to protect internal components

How and when should I use this 1-quart bottle?

This 1-quart container is sized for top-ups, partial drains, or single-bottle services. Always follow the vehicle’s owner’s manual for the correct fill volume and change intervals; some models require multiple quarts for a full service, while others need only a top-up.

• Use for fill-ups, top-offs, or small repairs per the service manual
• Check the owner’s manual for exact capacity and recommended service interval
• Dispose of used fluid responsibly according to local regulations

Will this fluid work with all Honda manual transmissions?

Honda Fluid 08798-9031 is intended for applications specified by Honda for their manual transmissions. Confirm compatibility by checking your vehicle’s owner’s manual or asking a Honda dealer, since older or specialized transmissions may call for different fluids.

• Intended for Honda models that list part number 08798-9031 or the OEM fluid spec
• Verify model-year and transmission type before purchasing
• Contact a Honda service center for fitment assistance if unsure

Who is this for: Drivers and technicians who want a genuine OEM solution for manual transmission care — ideal for Honda owners, routine maintenance shops, and DIY enthusiasts who prefer factory-specified fluids to preserve original shift feel and compatibility. If you need a single-quart replacement that aligns with Honda’s recommended chemistry and performance targets, this product is a direct-match option.
