that is the new version. make sure you get that bottle color, some dealers will stack the old ones until its all sold out.

Isn't the new Honda MTF cheaper than the Acura MTF ? I know they are both the same.

The new MTF is amazing according to most, everyone has said it makes shifting seem effortless. I think the honda one has a green cap? The old stuff was a red cap.

the old stuff had a blue sticker and black cap.
yeah this goood stuff. going into first is effortless most of the time and notchiness from 1-2 is significantly less. it shifts a tad bit better in cold and i can get into reverse most of the time without putting into forward gear first.
5.63 a bottle. its just labled as acura because i got it at acura.
