Hi all,
I'm doing a service on my accord tomorrow and would like to change the gearbox oil too.
I'm right in thinking that Hondas MTF3 is 75W-80? I test & develop race gearboxes and hypercar gearboxes so have access to a range of "suitable" automotive oils
What would be the best out of the following? These are all automotive spec oils, not motorsport which doesn't have synchro additives in:
Shell TF 1055 (this is special Ferrari Specific oil)
Shell Spirax S5 ATE 75W-90 (most of our hypercar projects use this)
Shell Spirax S6 GXME 75W-80
Toyota Differential Gear Oil LX 75W-85 (this is used in the gearbox too)
Motul Gear LS 300 75W-90
there's a couple of others but these are the main ones.
The cars on 172K, not sure if the oils ever been changed so any of those i would ***ume would be better.
The Shell Spirax S5 is probably the "best" out of them all as its the highest performance based oil, the Toyota oil is similar viscosity to Hondas MTF3.
I'm not too fussed what goes in there tbh but what are your thoughts? There must be other options other than Hondas own blend
Cheers
Rob
