Hey, going to do transmission fluid change on my 04 TL 6MT since its at 160k now, curious on what fluid would be best to last a good while? and keep everything in tip top condition in there, also will i be needing any new crush washers and drain bolt?

thanks!

 

The consensus is ACDelco Synchromesh Friction Modified. Search this site, 99% of the 6MT drivers, myself included, will tell you this is the MTF to use.

 

Yes sir, i expected to hear this, as i scrolled through the forums and sa loas using it and then some continuing to use hondas stuff, do you have a link of the exact fluid that is this syncromesh friction mod stuff? ive googled it and seen different types and honestly i aint sure which one i need to put in the car? and i beleive i need 3qts of it too?

i will probably get the crush washers and new drain bolt at acura

 

Here is the Amazon link: https://smile.amazon.com/ACDelco-10-...8FK/ref=sr_1_3

Buying the 2-pack will save a few dollars per quart; for that reason I bought six quarts last time around.

 

On a whim I looked at RockAuto for the MTF; it wasn't easy to find but the price is REALLY good at $11.27 per quart.

Awesome man thank you, defiantly get it from rock auto then since its a good bit cheaper and i dont mind paying delivery, guess ill get 4 quarts just one for spare and hope for the best, i know there was cheap auto transmission fluid in a bottle in the rear of my TL when i bought it and i have no idea why, previous owner never said if he used it or not, and i never noticed a leak so hopefully all is well.. thanks!!
