RL MTL vs. Honda MTF- Details Inside
Someone ran an analysis of virgin samples of Honda MTF and Redline MTL for a comparison of the additive packs. Note: An inexpensive analysis only reveals some makeup of a fluid's additive pack, not all, but is still interesting for comparison purposes.
RL MTL/Genuine Honda MTF
Fe 1/3
Sn 4/0
Al 0/1
Si 18/8
Na 2/3
K 1/1
Mo 1/1
B 33/1
Ba 1/0
Ca 4076/2889
Mg 11/2
Mn 0/1
P 3184/1209
Sb 4/4
Zn 3523/1388
Vis, at 100C: 10.7/11.1
The Redline MTL clearly has the stronger additive package in comparison to the Genuine Honda MTF. At 2x cost, of course. However, given its nearly full(if not full) synthetic composition, the viscosity retention should be much better, and the anti-wear protection should be better as well, given the higher level of additives. Many people have noticed better shifting upon the switch to this fluid from the Genuine Honda MTF.
