Some of the Honda boys use Land rover gearbox oil, sopposed to be good and cheap, the honda box takes a good old hammering to reving to 9000rpm

infront of the gearbox oil will be a small black and silver flipcars thing.
flip this over to the page your car is on, and look at the part number next to the car model.
then select the gearbox oil with the same part number on it

not really as you do not know what oil is in and some oils do not mix they just sit on top of each other like oil&water...in my opinion your best of dropping the oil and put fresh in
