2006 tsx honda MTF or royal purple 10W30/10W40 syn or better alternatives
 

as title says, i need to change my manual tranny fluid. Which oil should i use.?

I also want to know what most of you choose to use and the price of oil.

Thanks. =]

Honda MTF
Most shops will even suggest it over any other synthtic fluids like RP, redline, torco etc.

anyone else?

i use Amsoil MTF

check Amsoil's website. its honda's new official oem replacement or however they titled it. Ive had it for about 2 months now and my shifting is buttery smooth

WILL TRY OUT!~

Honda MTF

honda mtf.. one of the few liquids that honda produces.. they make it for a reason!

Honda MTF suck on my car. I use GM syncromesh
Aka AC delco. Works soo smooth on my acura

I've heard about people using GM's tranny fluid, I'll try on my next oil change. thanks.

why does honda mtf suck on your car?
what car and tranny?
since you use gm syncromesh, im assuming your tranny is grinding in 3rd gear?

if the car is stock run the oem mtf if the car is being pushed ie more power and higher rpm a run the torco it does a lot beter for shock and wear protection.

04 acura rsx-s
not grinding but 3rd gear pop out.
starting using the ac delco. what a difference. sooooo smooth and no pop out

+1 to synchromesh on my worn out ITR tranny. 3rd gear stopped grinding

honda MTF my ass, new label old label same shit different pile


i was changing every 5000km when the weather gets cold my 3rd pops out


fuck that


after switching to Amsoil MTF my tranny has been problem free for over 15k km

my tsx shifts like butter after changing the oil with honda MTF =) i'll try amsoil on my next change

the problem with honda mtf is that it does NOT last long


especially first thing in the morning where u try to shift while the car is cold


I tried motul too, its nice but its too thick. Therefore takes longer to warm up

OEM Honda fluids. There is a reason they make it specifically for Hondas.

bro honda atf u cant go wrong dont be cheap!

most popular ones for Hondas are: amsoil, honda mtf, and GM synchromesh (aka ACDelco)
I'm running on ACDelco on my rsx-s, feels better than honda MTF imho
my friend's running on amsoil, said too feels better than honda MTF
so it's up to you basically

^^^^^^ This is what I would tell you as well. I actually spoke with a highly trusted friend who is one of the top mechanics at the local Honda dealership today regarding this. I'm looking into getting a B17 trans with carbon coated syncros and a Type-R LSD in it. He told me (very generally) about the reformulated Honda MTF. I was previously using Royal Purple 10-W30 in my transmissions which I loved. He told me that with the new additives in the Honda MTF it would smooth shifts and prolong the trans as well as the LSD. So once I put it in, Honda MTF it is for my baby!!!

Honda MTF, all the time.
