MTG is formulated with extreme pressure (EP) additives and advanced synchromesh qualities that provide smooth shifts while protecting gears, bearings and seals. It is not corrosive to yellow metals, such as copper, that are used in some synchromesh systems. MTG provides the maximum transmission and transaxle internal component protection. AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid (MTF)) is specifically designed for manual transmissions and transaxles with synchromesh systems that require light viscosity, non-extreme pressure fortified oil. New AMSOIL Synthetic Synchromesh Transmission Fluid (MTF) 5W-30 meets and exceeds the gear, bearing, synchromesh and seal demands found in automobiles and light trucks. AMSOIL MTF outperforms conventional oils and protects internal components at extreme temperatures from -40�?°F to 300�?°F. It controls the thinning effects of mechanical shear for stable viscosity and superior film strength, providing better anti-wear performance than conventional oils. - Rich LBC Performance Motorsports Group/AMSOIL '98 Cougar V6 ATX aka 'Candy Striper' Photos

Use this at your own risk. It says its a 5w-30 oil.... The only fluid that is current spec for the MTX-75 is the Ford Honey. The only aftermarket product that meets the specs of Ford Honey is the Royal Purple SynchroMax product. You make the call. 1996 Contour SE 3.0 <Alternate Site on CarDomain>

That was the entire argument basis against every other fluid but "Ford Honey" in that pathetic thread. Then the hypocrits at the end turned 180 degrees and stated "WITH NO FORD ENGINEER GUESSING OUT THEIR PROVERBIAL ASS" {which is a specific requirement they stated to have any of your statements be valid ) that RP's Syncromax was a suitable alternative. 100% hypocritical bullsh~t spouted by blatantly short sighted people! 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I did notice a slight difference in the way it felt, which made sense because I didn't know when the previous owner had changed the fluid last. E0 Silver Frost CSVT #3095/6535 Alpine CDA-9851
