2000 VW Jetta TDI GLS 02J Trans 157,000 miles (pretty sure factory fill or maybe one change during previous ownership)Excellent fluid that is actually thicker than VW’s version of 75W-90. G070 (VW newest revision of MTF) has a cSt of about 6.4 with this stuff at around 9.0. Honda and Acura owners swear by this stuff with a majority of TDICLUB members agreeing on how good it is. The price on Amazon is unbeatable for me. $27/quart at the GM Dealership? No thank you. I actually ran the G070 for a little while and had nothing but issues in traffic. I live in Hawaii and the gearbox would get awfully hot when sitting in traffic. When it was getting hot I was getting shifting issues, 1st gear was almost locked out during a 3 hour stint of traffic! Once I refilled with this stuff I was blown away. The G070 was good when the trans was cold and mediocre when warmed up, but this stuffβ¦ I took a quick test drive and was shocked, it shifted like butter when cold. I didnβt think it was going to get any better as the G070 did okay when cold. Once the trans was warmed up, all issues were resolved. No more lock outs, no more grinding and no notchy shifts. I have put about 600 miles on this stuff and it is fantastic. I plan on changing every year or two as I do with all manual trans cars so we will see how it does in the long run but for now I can slam gears with no grinding at all. Not that I slam gears a lot but it is kind of a test to see how well it is working with the synchronizers. One last note, There is a guy on the TDICLUB that swears by this stuff and has over 350,000 miles worth of transmission wear on synchromesh, he had no ill effects running it and never had carrier bearing issues or excessive gear lash as some people would think due to not running a 75W-90 GL4 Gear oil. I assure you though, VW doesnβt use anything close to 75W-90 with their gear oil (thinner than the Pennzoil as well) and the transmissions still last a very long time using VWβs thin fluid. Conclusion, must buy for me. If you are on the fence about trying it, do some research and see if anyone has run it before on your particular make and model. What works for me may not work for you or your vehicle. Good luck!

I am skeptical about putting certain fluids in my Hondas but this product really came through on its quality. At first I was worried but once I shifted through all my gears it got the fluid where it needed to be and took the problem I was having away completely. I highly recommend this product for manual transmissions that are naturally having some aggressive gears when shifting.

Highly recommend this if you have a 6 speed manual Honda. Had 179K miles and 3rd gear had a little synchro grind. After flush and filling with this, it went away and shifting was like new again.

I’ve always used oem trans fluid for all my cars but after using the oe fluid didn’t make any my shifts and notchyness change at all. I’ve decided to try this on my 8th gen civic after the service interval of the trans fluid and this actually made all my shifts smoother, notchyness still there but was a significant change compared to the oe honda fluid. Would buy again.

Saw a few reviews on YouTube claiming this could stop 2nd gear grind in the CTR. I have 33K miles on my car and had maybe 10-15 grinds before I changed the trans oil at 27k. Have not had a shake, stutter, or crunch since. Definitely swap the OEM fluid out for this and adjust that clutch pedal

Got this for my FK8 Type R, works good, did a lot of research before I got this one for my 2021 Type R
