The book says to use Honda MTF, obviously, but it does say you can use a motor oil as a temporary fix until you can get the right stuff.
Also, what spark plugs are you using? The book says NGK with a number 5 in there, and others are saying the correct plug has a no. 4?

I did use Royal Purple 5w30 in my 1998 DX trans, but when I swapped the trans for a 1993 VX/CX trans I went to 10w40, because that was Honda spec at the time. Honda MTF did not yet exist in 1993. The Royal Purple was not in the trans long enough to really tell much of anything, other than that the car still shifted fine.
I do have two sets of NGK plugs. I alternate and clean them every 6,000 to 12,000 miles (when I do oil changes). One is NGK "ZFR5FGP" (platinum alloy) and the other is the ZFR5F-11 (resistor). ... hope that helps.
