i still had a 1.5 quarts of mtf from a few yrs ago, so I just put it in my car. I was at acura and knew I needed some mtf so I picked some up...i just went to pour some in(thinking its the same ****) but its a diff colour than the few year older stuff...I think i read that honda changed their fluid in the last year or so...is this true...and if so can I mix this new stuff with the old stuff?

the older stuff is gold while this new bottle from acura is dark greyish.


thanks.

im thinking it should be ok, but just want to double check.(both honda mtf)

 

should be ok. but i would just drain the old stuff out to get all the shavings out
and put in the new stuff

 

thats what I did. I drained the old stuff. Then put in the new "old" formula...and topped it off with the bottle from acura that i just bought. drove around a bit and it was ok for that...im sure its fine. just wanted to make sure they hadnt drastically changed it...though ive read of people mixing synchromesh and honda mtf so I figured it should be fine mixing the two honda formulas.
