Amsoil MT fluid or OEM Honda?

RReuphoria · 05-12-2008, 01:42 PM

I know I'm going to use some 0W-30 Amsoil synth oil in my next oil change (was using mobil 1). However, I wanted to replace my MT fluid also.

The only problem is, Amosil recommends using Honda OEM for some reason. Why is this?

From their website:

LUBRICANTS & FLUIDS
Engine Oil
Grade 1......All TEMPS
SAE 0W-30 Synthetic Signature Series Oil
SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil
SAE 5W-30 XL Synthetic Motor Oil
All Temps......5W-30
Manual Transmission,.....GLS[1]
Fluids
Power Steering Fluid.....PS
Brake Fluid.....HB
Series 500 High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid
Clutch Fluid.....HB
Series 500 High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid

1. Honda MT fluid, P/N 08798-9031

What should I do

They only show that for the 08 Si's. If you look up the 06 or 07 Si, they list the MTF.

I'm running Amsoil MTF in my new 08, and the shifting is much improved!

Read the description for the Amsoil MTF, and it says it is recommended for Honda OEM MTF fluid replacement.

You will be fine!

Think I'll be ok with 0W-30 since the weather here is like 100 degrees 24/7 during the summer time?
