Yo, where do you guys buy your Honda MTF fluid from? Am i guessing directly from Honda? I'm from Sydney, where would be the cheapest place?
I assume that's the best fluid for the EP3 based on the comments in this thread saying it's buttery smooth shifting vs say Motul..
For the OEM HAMP oil filters I'm looking to source them from JDM Yard. Where do you guys buy all the OEM honda servicing gear from like seals and timing belts?
Thanks, sorry in advance if these questions sound retarded..
A late bump but i figured a thread like this could do with it to help others.
My car is a 100% daily driver and it also runs a Cusco 1way so OEM oil is not recommend, We had to do a little research and testing to come up with this mixture of good on the street and this is the perfect range for track/hills also, Have taken it on a few spirited runs and not a single difference as the heat begins to climb.
I also let my car get to about 50-60 degree's (2minutes of idling) before i actually drive it, this helps ALOT with the LSD especially and the transmission since this oil is thicker and it is recommended by Cusco also to bring the oil more into its heat efficiency range.
Hoping to get my EP3 tomorrow, will do oil this weekend, and drive belt as pre inspection said it's worn. Is it easy enough to get through Honda here? and for the oil my car won't be tracked (maybe in future) so go with 5W40 ?

What's so great about Fuchs Titan, if you don't mind me asking (I don't know anything about it)?
I am quite happy with Penrite "Racing" oil - it's the cheapest Group 4 based oil you can buy.
I run 5w30 as the fn2 won't see the track (because it's too slow!.........) - the 5w30 has friction modifiers so might pick up a kW or two to help the fn2's glacier-esque (lack of) performance.
I suppose 10w40 would be good for a tracked EP3, that verson doesn't have friction modifiers - either are not bad for $55/bottle on special.

I ran 5w40 before (there was a special on shell helix ultra), but I am sure the 5w30 feels better.
I don't see why you can't run 5w30 in a non-tracked car, as that is the spec of oil that Honda specify. I don't think there is any need to run a 40-weight, unless tracking the car.
I noticed the Clio RS folks run 5w40, but let's be honest, their engine is no K20 now is it?
