SayamaAccord
And still...
I just replaced my gearbox oil with the Comma version approved for the Accord 75W80 https://www.commaoil.com/passenger-vehicles/products/view/549 and the Spec Sheet says viscosity at 40C is 50 cST and at 100C is 9.3cST.
After the change I noticed it needed higher shifting effort. Not a lot, but enough to be noticeable.
Then I found this spec sheet on the web http://www.flagshiphawaii.com/msds/Alphabetical%20by%20Manufacturer/Honda_Manual_Transmission_Fluid.pdf at at the top of page 5 it mentions viscosities. At 40C 30.7 cST and at 100C 7.2 cST.
So despite the widespread ***umption that MTF3 is a 75W 80, which is shared by some aftermarket sellers such as Comma and Redline, MTF3 is a 75W.
Guys, please spare me the 'This is why you should always use genuine Honda MTF3' lecture, cheers.
