Special combination of friction modifiers, additives and viscosity, offer optimum synchroniser operation, aiding light and easy shifting b) it's a 75W-85 (11.9cSt@ 100*C) so copes better with the higher temps and loads we experience here. Although this fluid has the performance level API GL-4, the demands of passenger car and heavy duty transmissions are not exactly the same and it is recommended that a dedicated heavy duty gear oil such as Geartex EP-4, Delo Gear TDL or specialised products from the Delo Syn-AMT and Delo Syn-MTF ranges - is used in heavy duty synchronised manual transmissions requiring an API GL-4 fluid. Suitable for use where the following specifications are called for: BMW MTF LT-2, Ford M2C 186-A, GM 1940768, Mercedes Benz MB 235.10, MTF 94, Nissan MT-XZ TL (JR Type), Nissan MT-XZ, Special Honda MTF, Special Honda MTF II, Special Honda MTF-III, Tranself TRX, NFP, TRP, TRZ, Volvo 97308, API GL-4

MTF 94 should not be used in automotive transmissions, transaxles or differentials that require an API GL-5 gear lubricant. MTF 94 is a proven performance, highly shear stable, multigrade manual transmission fluid designed for use in passenger car and sport utility vehicle manual transmissions and transaxles. Meeting these demands means that MTF 94 is also suitable for use in manual transmissions and fitted to many other passenger cars and car-derived vans, particularly those manufactured by Honda. MTF 94 is also suitable for use in light-duty non-hypoid transfer boxes and ZEXEL limited slip axles.MTF 94 is suitable for use in manual transmissions and transaxles fitted to many modern passenger cars and sport utility vehicles. R380's can be idiosyncratic in what fluids they like too, most here In Australia end up using Castrol Syntrans 75W-85 as EP formulation helps protect gears and bearings against scuffing, pitting and wear under diverse service conditions MTF 94 is formulated with synthetic base oils and a high performance mild-EP additive system. The viscometrical profile of MTF 94 corresponds to the SAE 75W-80 viscosity grade. Product Highlight

MTF 94 is specifically designed around the demands of the passenger car manual transmissions used in Rover, Land Rover and Mini vehicles. MTF 94 is recommended for models equipped with the Rover PG-1, R65, R380 and Getrag 283 transmissions (Rover 200, 400, 600, 800, 25, 45, 75, MG-F; Land Rover Freelander, Defender, Discovery and Range Rover). It is not recommended for the GFT MT-82 six-speed transmission (fitted to the 2007 model Land Rover Defender). and FWIW I don't give a toss about the first couple of first to second changes first thing of a cold morning at -6*, but I can do without the baulky shifts and gear and bearing rattle on +35* days so, I actually use Motul Gear 300 these days, a 75W-90. Fully synthetic manual transmission fluid with excellent bearing and gear protection and proven synchroniser performance Basically they are of a type that the coefficient of friction increases as the hub speeds get closer together, allowing mesh of the 'dogs. Called at the Texaco garage this morning - all they had was a few dusty cans of 'Q8' & 'Halvoline' engine oils no gearbox oils at all - asked the spotty 17 year old behind the counter who said (after he'd unplugged his ipod & put down his comic ) 'nah mate that's all we got'

To be honest it was only a small filling station with a couple of pumps & a few stale pork pies & sarnies - didn't even have any wilting flowers or bags of BBQ charcoal outside !

The Comma Fully Synthetic MVMTF 75W80 Plus 1L is a fully synthetic manual transmission fluid with excellent bearing and gear protection and proven synchroniser performance. This transmission fluid is recommended by Comma for certain BMW, Vauxhall/Opel, Mini, Land Rover, Honda, Volvo and MG applications and generally where a 75W-80, API GL-4 oil is specified. Sorry mate, can't get the bloody stuff anywhere around the Burton area - has a good search on the web & can't find anywhere selling MTF-94 - all you get are links to various forums asking ' where the f**k can I get MTF-94'Most xW-80 MTF's have a kinematic viscosity around the same, ATF's are around 6.5-7.5 cSt @ 100*C. A big difference.
