Default Honda MTF 3

Hi guys quick question,

while shopping around for a deal on Honda MTF... i saw that there is also Honda MTF 3. It was all sold overseas, so is the MTF 3 the same thing i would get at a dealership here? if not what makes the MTF 3 better than the MTF Honda gives me stateside?

People rave about the GM Synchromesh Friction Modified so right now im not sure if im gonna go OEM or GM...

Last time I saw it that was sold in Europe, I would think that it is the same fluid we get as MTF2, perhaps they started numbering their fluids earlier. Definitely not available over here as MTF3.

One person's "rave" is another person's "rant". I know plenty of people who tried the GMSM-FM in their S2000s and hated it. Made for notchy and rough shfiting. I put it in a local S2000 and the owner begged me to take it out before 2 weeks was up. Try it. You might like it.

The bottles between Canada and the US used to be different too, but it was the same fluid inside.
