Manual Transmission Fluid for Euro.

[tony1234]

Is there any other type/brand of MTF that can be put safely in the Euro?Why i ask is because when i had a Subaru Liberty i put Redline lightweight shockproof MTF and the improvement it made in reducing notchiness in gear changes was amazing.Not that the Euro suffers from this.Please give me your opinions.

The gearshift on the Euro is about as good as it gets. Stick with Honda MTF

Stick with Honda MTF. The lightest Redline MTF is still thicker than Honda's.

what's honda's MTF spec?

what's honda's MTF spec?

I think it's equivalent to 10w-30 engine oil. But the test for rating transmission fluid viscosity is not the same as the test for engine oil viscosity. When tested using the method for transmission fluid, the rating should be different.

Honda MTF Oil Spec is 75W/80 from memory....

Just stick with Honda's MTF, it's good stuff...

Is MTF changed every 20 or 40000 kms?

By the service schedule, 120,000km or 72 months. I would change mine every 1.5 years (20,000km)

A/T = 60,000km
M/T = 120,000km

Holy moly! Anybody know a rough estimate if I wanted a change at my next service.

I think it's about $120-150. I DIY mine.

I want to do mine, my cars done 37 000km and its two years old. Its feels a little sluggish on the 1-2 gate. Might get honda to flush it at the 40 000km. Looked at doing it myself but seemed a little hard.
