Default LF new transmission fluid from HONDA

Hi to all

Where do you guys buy this stuff in Toronto area and also can any one tell me what is the part ### for GM synchromesh in Canadian GM dealers ?
Any info would help.
Btw. I went to acura and honda dealerships in London and they didn't know anything about new Honda MTF.
Thanks

I picked mine up at Maple Honda...P/N 08798-9031C.

The guys at Maple didn't realize it was a new formula either, but confirmed when I went to pick it up.

There should be some yellow text on the bottle saying 'advanced protection' or 'advanced formula'..something along those lines....I'd check again at your London dealer.

I just put this into my S this past Saturday, well sort of, mine did not come with a C at the end of the part number...

The shifting is once again nice and smooth, I'm just not sure if it is because I'm on fresh fluid or if indeed this 'new and improved' formula is much better. I think for me time will tell, because I found the old Honda MTF woul dfeel fantastic after a change, but then a few thousand miles later it would be more clunky again, maybe the improved formula will hold the noice smoot feeling longer.

This stuff is packaged different in Canada, I think that's what the C denotes.

Actually it was the same part ### like you posted , with the C on the end but it wasn't silver bottle so I figured it was not new MTF from honda. I found a pic of the new stuff here on s2ki , they said its suppous to be silver bottle with white cup.

so is that mean that the C on the end is a new stuff ?

LMK

thanks

I've gotta change my fluid in my tranny as well. Are you guys saying there's a new formula from Honda I should use or get the GM synchromesh? Also, do you guys recommend a certain type of fluid for the diff? Thanks!

The silver bottle you are referring to is the American packaging. Up here it's a black bottle. P/N 08798-9031C is the new stuff.
