so which MTF are you guys using.. cos im confused as to what grade to use now.. getting all this conflicting information from other places saying that i must use honda gearbox fluid this and that blah blah.. which one is good for my type s box? its quite new.. gets driven quite hard maybe half the time the cars being used.

honda MTF cant go wrong, not too expensive either, about $15 per litre bottle?

I use castrol VMX80 in all my hondas and buy in 4L for $40 or so, same 75w80 as honda MTF which is supplied by a local petroleum company anyway.

Best gearbox oil is Redline Lightweight Shockproof 75 85 will stop most crunching and give you alot better gearbox feel .

Can I use redline in an EK4?

check for compatibility but yes you can use it in that, the Redline is an excellent oil but is priced as that as well and usually retails for about $150 for a bottle

but you will notice the difference running this oil

We put it in my mums rex as there gearboxes tend to be a little weak and made a huge difference to feel and changes
