The "new" Honda MTF stuff isn't bad at all actually. Honda designs and engineers every aspect of these vehicles, I'm sure they would know a thing or to about what spec tranny fluid to use. I have no doubt Amsoil, Royal Purple, and Red Line are at least meeting Manufacturers specs because I personally have Red Line in my Si, but I am saying that their MTF isn't that bad. Think about it, if the only reason why 3rd gear grinded was because of Honda's MTF, I am sure that they would have fixed it because its a hell of a lot easier to change tranny fluid then it is to drop the tranny and replace parts, not mention cheaper. While I do take note that Amsoil and Red Line have fixed the 3rd gear grinding, I am not gonna condone that they are much better than Honda's MTF. Stealerships have many issues and they can't really deny warranty work just because you don't use Honda MTF. I knew a service tech at Honda that said that if anything went wrong with the car they would blame it on the owner just because "the K20 is built like steel, it will never break, same with every aspect of the vehicle". They said 3rd gear grinding doesn't exist in 08+ vehicles when my car grinds every now and then.
