New Honda MTF?

[aaronng]

Just picked up Honda MTF. There were 2 types. One says Honda MTF 06, while the other one says Honda MTF Plus. The part numbers are the same, but one is made in the USA (MTF Plus) while the other (MTF 06) is made in Australia. Both smell the same, but the USA one is gold in colour, while the Aussie-made one is colourless.

Can anyone confirm that this is the new MTF2?

[shadou]

when did this happen? The honda mtf we used was always gold in colour.

[czy_sol87]

hummm yeh i just bought MTF 2day and didnt notice anything different
same as above gold in colour...

[aaronng]

Check your bottle. Does it say made in USA and bottled in Australia? Or made and bottled in Australia? The one made in Australia was colourless. The bottle was sealed too.

Any difference in the rating of the MTF?
OEM for Honda was Gold. That's the ones i got when i brought them.
I think off memory it was MTF Plus

[EGB18CT]

Yes, the bottle that was labeled MTF Plus was gold, just like how I remembered it (last MTF change was 1.5 years ago). But it was the made in Australia MTF 06 that was colourless.

When I did my MTF change the last time, it was after a track day. Shifting feel felt normal after changing it. This time, I could feel some improvement eventhough my old MTF was not that dirty.

One odd thing though, the part number for both bottles are the same!

[kraiye]

[aaronng]

Same price as MTF plus. I paid $13.50 per bottle.

[Limbo]

OOOoo sounds good. I might have to get some to change. Just need to make 5,000km first ;p

[EG5[KRT]]

yeah its just prob a superseeded for cost wise.

i noticed that as well coz i did a oil change on my gbox last weekend.but as long as its the same weight i.e 75w80 i dont think it should b any problem coz i mixed the two and i have no problems.

Either way, it seems to be smoother than the old MTF. :thumbsup:

i think it was shell who had the green stuff for brake fluid, dunno about mtf though

while on the subhect of fluids, anyone else notice the new bottles of feo are only 4L and not 5?

Was at Garry Warren Smith on Friday, they have 5L bottles as well. It's the one with the yellow label. I also saw the 4L bottles. Different name, same stuff.

Same price as MTF plus. I paid $13.50 per bottle.

:thumbsup: $14 was cheapest I could find in Bris

It's $15.90 here from the dealer. I paid $13.50 because I bought it from Hondwreck.

[EuroAccord13]

I paid $13 for the MTF 06...

Yours doesn't count. :p It's not retail price. :)

[STTICH]

generally how many liters would u need? ( i guess it varies for different cars? also varies between AT and manual?)

is there a way to find out? or juts ask over the counter staff?

Varies for different cars and whether it is AT, MT or CVT (all 3 take different fluid as well). Check your user manual first. They usually list fluid capacities.

[kayot1k]

can confirm this new mtf 06.
just used it on sunday. this palce i went to only had 2 mtf 06 bottles and 1 mtf plus . i was desperate so i just used those three.
shifting felt great cold shifting was improved dramatically.
but not sure if it was any different from mtf plus since the oil i was using prior to this was syntrax. which did not perform well cold.

[Limbo]

In the B series about 2 and a bit Litres. So 3 bottles just to be safe cos you spill abit when putting it in if you haven't done it before ;P

[aaronng]

;1372194']should buy from me laaa :wave:

I'll get them from you next year when it is time to change MTF again. :thumbsup:

[panda[cRx]]

i'm not fussed, i'm just saying coz u were just in would've saved a few bucks

edit: i had a look and i can't even find any bulletins on this stuff :confused:

[aaronng]

Saving a few bucks is always good. :thumbsup:

I think Honda Aus is secretly phasing it in. USA got this MTF-II in 2006, while Japan already has MTF-III.

[EuroAccord13]

This MTF is so good, I'm gonna change it every 10000kms!


;1372194']should buy from me laaa :wave:

Of course we buy from you laaa! Best prices on fluids!.. *Remember Coolant?* LOL!


But you are abit far hahahaha... Need to have substantial discount to justify travelling down there LOL!!!!!!

[jdm_kid]

is there a new FEO oil ? saw some bottles with a different label .. the Honda FEO writing was gold colour

[aaronng]

I've seen FEO bottles in 4 and 5L, with a red and with a yellow label.

[jdm_kid]

this one was called Honda Feo Premium, it was a little more expensive than the normal one

[eriktufa]

I just bought a yellow one, but it didn't say premium though.

as far as I concern, it costed me $33 dollar per 5 litres.

So in conclusion is mtf 06 superseeded mtf plus? or both products are totally unrelated?

I just bought mtf 06 for my s2k just curious, if it's the wrong product I'll return it for mtf plus.

Need help

Thanks

Erik

[aaronng]

MTF 06 supercedes MTF Plus. They both have the same part number. But so far, MTF 06 is smoother.

[eriktufa]

Cheerz aaronng, I'll try it in 2 weeks time :D hopefully it makes the shifting smoother.

How about new FEO engine oil (yellow label) , I know it's OT but yeah, if you want to make a new thread that's even better.

Cheerz

Erik

[aaronng]

Not sure about the engine oil. I didn't check the part numbers on that. If they are the same part number (for regular and premium), then they are either the same thing or the premium supercedes the regular one.

[eriktufa]

The part number is b1767 if anyone can check or confirm.
