I don't know for certain for the HX but the service manual or the parts shop can tell you your spec when they sell you the plugs. For my 98 DX the gap is 35. When I called my Honda dealership, they said just to use motor oil for the MT. Some guys on this site run the Royal Purple, a high grade synthetic, and I decided to emulate that. Three quarts for the MT fluid and 4 quarts for the oil pan. Always buy the "fully synthetic" ... look for that phrase. (BTW, I'm converted to Wix filters now too, after an amazingly poor fit--really non-fit--with a Fram that we checked and rechecked in the system but found over and over was listed as appropriate, incorrectly. Apparently some of these companies are riding on their reputations.)

Brucepick: I have not been using a torque wrench, though I am treating the threads. I have just not tightened it more than just one snug shove once resistance shows up. I'd better buy that torque wrench?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
