Hi

I will be doing a transmission and diff fluid change very soon and called up local Honda to get a price for Honda to supply the MTF 3 fluid, a friend will be doing the change.

They advised I would need 3 litres plus the crush washers totalling £37.85. I asked the guy to double check and he confirmed 3 litres. I've searched on here and every thread I've found says 2 litres is all you need for the transmission.

Any advice?

Thanks

I'm 99% sure the total quantity for a gearbox oil change is a shade under 2 litres. It's what i've read everywhere, and i'v eonly got 2 litres sitting at home waiting to go in my gearbox, so i hope it's right haha!

From the owners manual;

Manual transmission = 1.5 litre to change or 1.6 litres from dry... Honda MTF about £14 litre delivered

Differential = 0.7 litre to change or 0.8 litres from dry...SAE90 hypoid gear oil, GL5 or GL6 only.think this is about £15 litre from memory, from Honda

What he said .

Do not ask Honda dealer anything !
Should be a 1 mile exclusion zone around every Honda dealer !
And yes they've scratched my car again during the service !

I tend not to use Honda dealers, preferring to source online or through my friend so pretty disappointed they got something as simple as this wrong.

@PTR300, You say £14 delivered for Honda MTF, is that for 2 litres? if so could you tell me from which site?

Thanks

use opie oils. always good at recommending products and quantities

I simply can't fault opie for their level of service! top class every time. I spoke to them about various oils etc not long after i got my S. Settled on using Fuchs lubricants throughout. decent quality and good V.F.M

I got this > http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-976-fuch...ssion-oil.aspx

So 1.5 lites plus 0.8 lites = 3 litres (assuming you can't buy 1/2 litre bottles )

The diff uses different oil to the gearbox though.

err no one litre !
not sure if I am allowed post a fleabay link but look up Honda S2000 MTF and there is one at 12.50 plus 1.50 postage per litre...think it might be dealer? hold croft
