I have a 2015 Ford Focus, it seems like Honda MTF may be similar viscosity to Ford XT manual transmission fluid, do you guys think i would be OK using the Honda MTF fluid in the MTX75 transmission? Thanks
Honda MTF in '15 Ford Focus?
- Thread starter sr20detfwd
- Start date
Don't they do it the other way round commonly?
Does your Focus say to use DCT fluid or M2C200-D2? 
Valvoline and Amalie make DCT fluid at a fair price. There's also a brand called Triax at a similar price, but Valvoline and Amalie are more widely-recognized names.
Liqui-Moly 20044 is actually a fair price on Rock Auto

I didn't know a 2015 Focus uses the MTX75
Thought it'd have something more modern, like the MMT6
Why not use Motorcraft Full Synthetic MTF (XT-M5-QS)?
Or any quality 75W-90 GL4 (safe for yellow metals)

MTX-75 manual 5 speed original spec was 75w90 GL4 fully synthetic. After 75w GL4. Both ZDDP based.
Other question is if gbox was modified for new oil or eco reasons only. Any other Ford gbox was changed from old to new oil without changing internals, so I'd suspect about it.
Honda MTF is 75w80 GL4 ZDDP too, should work, but not fully syn.

I wonder if not fully syn makes a difference? Seems like I should be ok. Kind of tough times right now, so just trying to save where I can.
Yes, M2C200-D2Does your Focus say to use DCT fluid or M2C200-D2?

Difficult question. From theory yes, full syn should offer better shifting at extreme temps and less wear. In other hand Honda MTF is good fake syn with good result out there, I would use it, but on paper Ford fluids quality are closer to pro fluid brands than typical MTF.
