MTF06?

[PolitoHood]

MTF06?

MTF06 is the new version of the MTF that honda sells. Its had a positive response since its introduction.

I believe the MTF06 is lighter in colour as well

[supersteve]

[ChargeR]

how much is this MTF06 ??

I get it for around $12.75 a litre at my local Honda dealer.

I will share with you my experience which I stress has been 100% circuit racing in my DC5 race car
therefore this is worse case and not daily driver experience.
I have had ongoing trouble with many brands of gearbox oils breaking down due to heat stress.
The two things that fixed the gear change issues in my race car were:
1. Fitted gearbox oil cooler (Mugen)
2. Fit latest Carbon syncros as now supplied by Honda.

I am now using Penrite Sin75 as this has now finished 2 x Bathurst 12 hour races and when I drain it after it is crystal clear.
I am sure any of the other oils mentioned previously will work with this combination also.

I finally came to realise that Mugen produce a Gearbox oil cooler kit specifically for the DC5 for a reason.
Need I say more!

is MTF PLUS the old version of MTF oil ?? Or is MTF Plus the same as MTF06 ??

Changing the syncros, is it expensive job?

change my gearbox oil 2day in my ep3. Gear changing feels heaps smoother

[Philip Lee]

sweet i purchased some 2day, 3 bottles of MTF06. The guy gave me 2 bottles of MTF06 and 1 bottle of MTF PLUS and he reckons plus is the same as MTF06, that correct guys ??

so 3L is enough for EP3 (including g/b and LSD diff)?

thanks
