What is the spec of Honda MTF fluid?

i.e if I were to replace it with a non-Honda oil what would this be?

 

Just MTF, it's more a viscosity than anything else (around 5w-30 in engine terms) you'll find info on a few on my website

Neat web site - solves all oil questions at a stroke!

 

Amsoil synthetic manual synchromesh transmission fluid SAE 5W-30.

Does make a lot of difference. My gearbox is like butter now

 

I'd hardly call the facts above as told by a respected chemist advertising but then again we all have different ideas............

Yep, quite different

I would edit the first post and clearly state the source, so they get the credit and so nobody is confused!

I'm not one for plagarism!

 

Why, we actually wrote this unlike the other article which was written by John Rowland.

[QUOTE=oilmansi,Jan 23 2008, 11:02 AM] Do I need a special oil for limited slip differentials?

Yes. When the power distribution between two drive shafts is no longer equal (usually due to the surface condition that the drive wheels are turning on, i.e. ice, mud), limited slip differentials are able to effectively lock the two half shafts, ensuring equal power distribution once again. When this limited slip differential mechanism

 

Yup, you wrote it using facts by a tribologist / chemist, as per your other post.

I could do that with a bit of rearranging.

Sorry to harp on but I get quite p'd off when people nick my info!
