Honda MTF-3 Manual Transmission Fluid

Genuine Honda MTF-3 Manual Transmission Fluid is an original gearbox oil developed specifically for Honda manual transmissions and i-SHIFT semi-automatic gearboxes. It ensures smooth shifting, proper synchronizer operation and long transmission life.

This is the same fluid used by Honda in factory service and authorized dealerships. Honda MTF-3 is engineered to match the internal design, materials and tolerances of Honda gearboxes.

Important notice: Honda has recently updated the packaging and part numbering. The previous part number 08267-99902HE has been replaced by 08267-99902PRO. The oil formulation, specifications and application remain unchanged.

Why use genuine Honda MTF-3?

• Smooth and precise gear shifting in all temperatures
• Proper lubrication of Honda synchronizers
• Reduced gearbox wear and extended service life
• Stable viscosity under daily and dynamic driving conditions
• Designed specifically for Honda manual transmissions

Service intervals and capacity

Honda recommends replacing MTF fluid every 60,000–80,000 km. For city-driven or performance-oriented vehicles, a shorter interval of 40,000 km is often recommended to maintain optimal shift quality.

Typical fluid capacity:

• Civic 1.8 – approx. 1.6 L
• Accord K24 – approx. 2.2 L

Always verify the exact capacity in the service manual or by VIN before refilling.

MTF Oil Change – Important note

When changing Honda MTF-3, both sealing washers under the drain and fill plugs should be replaced to prevent leaks and ensure proper sealing.

• 14 mm washer – 94109-14000
• 20 mm washer – 94109-20000

Replacing washers during every service eliminates the risk of micro-leaks and helps maintain gearbox integrity.
