On 200-300TW summer tires, 10k is a LOT of miles. If you want more mileage than that, you honestly need to switch to a high performance all-season that's in the 500-600TW range.

That's crazy, I'd be PO'd.

Rotting is odd for one year old tires. Miles? What's the coldest weather you've driven in? Track events? Pics?

How do you feel about the CMC damper and CDV delete?

Perhaps, but I've heard more than once (including from folks with FK8's) that changing the factory fluid for Honda OEM made things feel worse. And heard the opposite, to be fair. There are also quite a few folks that changed a few different fluids out back-to-back, not really giving the fluid...

You claim to speak for the average owner? I have not had grinding, I'm not adding power, and I'm never going to track this car. Swapping the fluid for Red Line MTL at ~4000 miles (after break in) made a VERY positive difference, on the level of the difference that the Acuity shifter made. The...

I didn't advocate for GL-5 anywhere in that post, quite the opposite. I firmly disagree that 90% of CTR owners should stick to OEM. This is an area for improvement on the stock car with stock power and street driving.

Found in the wild: And: Let's address these together. The confusion here stems from the fact that there are two types of commonly-used LSDs equipped in factory cars, and only one of them has specific fluid requirements. There's additional confusion because there are two H-words that sound...

Redline MTL is what is in my ITS right now and it's been fantastic. The only thing I haven't tried it in is extreme cold. We didn't get another major cold snap, so I've only experienced it down to about -5°F or so. It was perfectly fine at those temps. I also only have maybe 1000 miles on...

Not just 10W-40 though. The service manual called for "straight" 30, 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-40 depending on ambient temps:

Found in the wild: Alright, I'm not completely sure what's going on here that led to this. Could be multiple things. Let's steel man this argument. Honda (and other manufacturers) actually used to specify motor oil as the proper lubricant for manual transmissions in decades past. Meaning...

I have come across so much uninformed nonsense on this topic. It's actually worse than the uninformed nonsense regarding engine oil, because while using "MEGA-BRAND X" instead of "brand Z™ " likely will do no harm assuming they're both API engine oils, gear oil is a much broader spectrum with...

Updated OP with info about these Liqui Moly products: Top Tec MTF 5100 75W Top Tec MTF 5200 75W-80 Top Tec MTF 5300 70W-75 Top Tec MTF 5400 75W-90 I found out about this whole product line from a review of 5200 (75W-80) on the New Zealand Honda forum...

Here's another variant, this one appears to be sold in the EU. Part number 08267-99902 (I see 08267-99902-HE and 08267-99902-PRO, difference appears to just be packaging.) Appears to be made in the UK: If that's hard to read, near the bottom it says: "Country of origin: UK"

Note that the bottle you posted says that it's made in the USA. Here's what's listed on the Japanese Honda site (used Google Translate) I found a part number for it of 08261-99964. Here's a side view of that can: Using my phone's camera translator, the Japanese writing appears to be...

It's possible that there's a regional difference as well. Different supplier where the car was built vs what we get in the USA.

Interesting regarding the flashpoint. I don't know what would change that. (Not saying it's impossible that it's the same fluid, but I just don't know.)

I do not mind Blackstone reports here (please post them!) I do mind the AI slop and there really aught to be a forum rule against it.

I really wish you'd quit posting AI slop on this forum. Like for real. It's REALLY annoying. At the bare minimum, can you please stop posting it in my thread? Keep it in your own threads. There are two main versions of the ACDelco Synchromesh fluid, 10-4014 (in the white bottle) and 10-4006...
