You want part #12377916 which is GMSFM fluid. If you can't get that, use Amsoil's product.

I have never tried the Amsoil product but it is listed as an OEM replacement for the GMSFM fluid and it is that on what I was basing my post.

Dont quote me on this but I believe I have read multiple places that Amsoil might even be the same exact stuff as the GM syncro friction modified. I just ordered the amsoil stuff

^^^ That's what I've "heard" also.

Amsoil is top dog for oil, so I have no doubt it's superior to the Honda MTF. Amsoil MTF lists on the bottle is a replacement for GMSM friction modified, and Honda MTF.

I just changed my MTF ten minutes ago, went from GMSM to Amsoil.
