Could you guys let us know what viscosity are the NEO and Motul's MTF? Honda specifies 75w80 for the Euro's gearbox. What works great for another brand/model of car may not necessarily work for the Euro. I would use Honda MTF and change it every 2 years. That's better than spending a lot on Neo or Motul and keeping it in there for 4 years or longer.

do you buy it directly from a Honda dealership? i guess it would be better to stick to generic Honda MTF

Yup, you can buy it from the dealership, from a honda parts shop or from a Honda wrecker (some of them stock Honda fluids).

Make sure the one you buy says Honda MTF 06. That's the new formulation. The old formulation says Honda MTF Plus.

NEO is 75-90 also, it costs about $115.00 for 5L from memory.. does the box and diff in the suby.. so it would be more than enough for the EURO,

Here is a Link with some info on it..

I recommend it over Motul / Redline, so does my Mechanic (IS Motor-racing)

Cheaper than motul.

Motul is around $25 on sale and $35 not on sale /1l

**xxb4xx** · 30-03-2009 10:57 AM

Motul is good too, don't get me wrong.. but for a 12sec all day everyday car, I put my trust in NEO, and it served me well

**E_Honda** · 30-03-2009 10:59 AM

but has anyone actually used NEO in their EUro??

lol posted same time. So you have used it on your Euro, notice much difference over the Motul? If not i might just get Motul considering it is the recommended MTF for the Euro.
