REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - Is it important to use Honda transmission fluid in 99 Civic SiR?

I had the car's clutch replaced a while ago (well, like years ago now, but I've barely driven the car since then), and the shop did the transmission fluid at the same time. But they used standard 5w30 oil for it, even though I brought a couple bottles of Honda transmission fluid for the job.

I watched an Eric the Car Guy video recently in which he said to always use the Honda fluid, and so I'm just wondering how important it actually is, and if I should drain what's in there to put Honda fluid in.
