Honda MTF is your best bet!

I would honestly stick with Honda MTF rather than motor oil. If motor oil worked as well, Honda wouldn't have developed the MTF (and indeed refined it into the latest formulation). Just stop at your nearest Honda or Acura dealer and pick up two quarts.

i noticed the different Acura label and fluid color, and was wondering what advancements were made to it, if any.

Redline. Much better than Honda MTF. I switched and I dont think I'll go back.

10w30 is fine IF it's non-synthetic


honda mtf or 10w-30 cheap ****


just like the glove compartment manual states, just like i've stated 10000000 times on this forum, just like the helms manual states.

but if you're looking for an upgrade with better decompose resistance go with the AMSIOL FTW.

ive read about how people swear it cures/ prevents grinds.
