AMSOIL MTF or the "new" HONDA MTF?

SIcivic07 · 01-08-2008, 06:04 PM

got my MTF changed to the "new" and "updated" honda MTF at my first service...should i stick with that or go to my mechanic and have him switch it out to the AMSOIL? will Honda do the switch to the AMSOIL?

Don't get the Amsoil. Honda is supposedly coming out with another fix for the third gear situation and you don't want your warranty to be denied for having a different fluid in there.

I got the Amsoil a while ago and my problem is coming back in full force. It just masks the problem for a short while.

EDIT: Read this.

i put amsoil in mine immediately and haven't had any third gear issues.. 22K miles... *knock on wood*

I'd personally opt for the new Honda MTF now.

I used the Honda MTF and it did its job! 3rd gear is smoother but I wont say gone ( I havn't mess up in 3rd gear since but u never know)
