Honda MTF, what's the equivelent?
 

Hi,
In my manual it states that I need to buy MTF (manual transmission fluid)
from Honda. I called my local parts store and they are not familiar with
the Honda MTF, they said either use "GEAR OIL" or use "ATF" (like Mercon III). So I am getting mixed response from people, what should i use?

why not just use the OEM Honda?

(im using GM Synchromesh Friction Modified in my 2000 accord)

I'm also using the synchromesh. I havn't had any problems....I just wasn't going to go on a mission to get the oem fluid. Dealership is 25 miles away plus inflated prices. :down:

Use only Honda Tranny Fluid.
DONT USE ANYTHING ELSE.

honda MANUAL tranny fluid is just 10w30 oil with additives.

do not use ATF Mercon/Dextron shit thats only for auto

i prefer Pennzoil Synchromesh or GM Sychromesh

wut about redline or royal purple?

the synchromesh stuff is made for manual trannies and supposedly helps reduce grinds and make shifts smoother, but i cant really tell cuz my tranny wasnt grinding when i put it in

my bad....i didnt see that its a manual

I called Honda dealer and they told me to use 10w30 motor oil. what do u guys think? Honda MTF or just regular 10w30?

i used regular oil in my b4 the mtf and u can def. feel the difference, sometimes i would grind 1,2,3 if the tranny wasnt warmed up, now i dont grind any of em and i dont ned to warm up the tranny at all. so go wit mtf...
