Help: Motor Oil in Transmission (Manual)
I have a 2003 CL, manual transmission with 122,000 miles. My dad likes to work on cars so I had him change my transmission fluid. However, I just realized that he put 0W-20 full synthetic motor oil in my transmission! I have driven the car for about 60 miles and it seems to work ok but I’m worried that my car is screwed. What should I do? All advice is greatly appreciated.

Stop driving the car and replace the fluid ASAP

BTW, the CL manual transmission does not use regular ATF for all does making fun of his Dad. His father was somewhat right. However, he has the wrong spec for the CL MT 6spd, which calls for 10w-30 or 10w-40 synthetic or Acura MT fluid. Also some member have used GM synchromesh for our manual trannies.
