Default Is this the new MTF?

So I bought some MTF before I sold my Integra. I have an old bottle from a few years back and a few of the new ones. Here they are for comparison.

Could someone tell me if the green bottle is the new stuff that everyone's been talking about?



If it's not, will it really make a difference for me to get the other stuff? I have four bottles and wouldn't like them to go to waste.

Also, if the green one isn't it, could someone post a pic of what the better stuff looks like?

If you guys are ever in a pinch and Honda doesnt have any, the Acura stuff is exactly the same fluid.

Its manufactured by a company called Excelda.

Does anyone know what the bottles look like in Canada? I replaced my fluid last year but it didn't look anything like either of those 2, it was a full black bottle...

I have used the Honda MTF (green bottle) and liked it. but I just tried the AMSOIL GL4 and noticed a HUGE difference! Honda's cheaper but the Amsoil really made may shifting much more enjoyable. It just falls in place. Give it a try if you have a few extra $$.

those are for mr2 and miata, the weight is totally off the chart.

honda mtf is 10w30(or very very close), my mazda uses 75w90 weight(diff and trans)


warranty voiding stuff, reduce that much viscosity on a slush box and you'll get a busted one

It is the exact same with the exception of a yellow box on the label that said IMPROVED or something of the sort.
