Default Best MTF

What is the difference between Honda MTF and Amsoil syncromesh regarding the weight and thickness ? Also is Honda MTF synthetic ?

Have a look at the Synchrotech MTF. I converted a couple years ago and have been really impressed. It’s thicker like the old time Honda MTF was. I don’t recommend Honda MTF anymore. It’s been reformulated and it’s very thin and definitely gave me occasional scratchy shifts in vintage B series transmissions. I have not tried the Amsoil, no reason to at this point.

You shouldn’t be running synthetic motor oil in your trans. If proper MTF Isn’t available you should be using 10w30 conventional.

the synchrotech fluid (and Honda) don’t have the typical weight/viscosity ratings listed. They are what they are and are formulated for your synchros and bearings.

So I should use the synchrotech instead for the B16a tranny right.

Synthetic motor oil is not good. That is what you were talking about, no?
