You mean we're supposed to run motor oil now?
In the transmission?
Yeah,  is right.
I tire of changing the fluid in that thing.
Honestly, any professional opinions here? Should we change? I'm no mechanic, and I'm no engineer, just a kid with a Contour who wants to take care of it right!

Actually, that is what the guy at redline was stating...he said that the Honey actually looked like a motor oil spec'd for a transmission. He said that it shared some similarities to the MTL in that the base stocks were still used in synthetic motor oils. Obviously I'm not saying they are the same or have the same additives! I'm just reiterating what he had said. Go figure.

Well if the honey is just motor oil, screw that price.

well its not. It is much more complex using different polymer additives and different weight oils. It is formulated for the temperature and pressure of a gear box.
Now you can use synthetic motor oil in MTXs, some manufacturers even use motor oil stock. But the honey does have some engineering in it. Same as the Royal purple synchromax, gm synchromesh, MTL/MT90.
Like buying a set of chairs, what works at a breakfast table doesn't work in the living room or fine dining...yet they're all chairs and work the same.

So what was with all the emails from Royal Purple stating that they actually tested their product in the MTX 75...
Could somebody please forward those emails to me...
