Transmission Fluids

[MrStip14]

Let us know how you feel about the winter performance! I've heard a few good things here and there about it when used in the FK8/FL5.

For sure, I’ll write a little update probably in the spring. That way I can address the long term usage and how winter went. I do park in a heated garage so I feel like that will help with the higher viscosity over OEM. Luckily I’ve seemed to have grown up a bit the past few years and don’t beat on my cars like I used to so I will let it get to temp before any spirited driving takes place.

Mid winter update. It’s been rather chilly here in PA with temps not getting out of the teens for a few weeks now. The cold weather has very little to no effect on the shifter feel. Perhaps it’s a bit more stiff when initially going into 1st . It’s not really noticeable that the fluid has a higher viscosity than stock.

Overall I’ve really been enjoying the Amsoil. Shift feeling has been very positive in all conditions and temps as well as spirted driving and cruising.

Second gear grind has almost been completed eliminated. It’s happened twice since switching. One of the times was definitely a skill issue.

I have about 3k miles on the Amsoil and I would definitely recommend it.

Good to hear!

after parking at EWR the last two nights with its 0F overnight lows, I returned at 10am today, car cranked a bit slower as expected and shifted with only a hint of brrrr by the gear box, which didn't take too long to get some temp in it getting on the highway.

Honda MTL is damn good OEM fluid.

The factory Honda MTL so far is doing good for me in the cold. It starts to feel just a bit sluggish around 0°F and below, but not bad. 20°F is no problem at all. Warms up quick.

I haven't had the time, but I have a gallon of Redline MTL that I'm going to give a shot. Redline MT-90 is definitely superior in terms of cold-weather performance to the OEM Toyota fluid that was in my Tacoma. I'm hoping the MTL will be similarly superior to the OEM Honda fluid.
