Yes Motul DCTF. I originally went with the BG SynchroShift and it was a great imrovement, but it is expensive, so next time I decided on Motul DCTF. The Motul seems just as good and is less expensive, so that's what I stuck with. I change yearly because I occasionally track mine.

I just bought a 2020 Mustang GT with 129,000 miles. It has an MT82 manual transmission, and I want to know the best transmission fluid to keep it running smoothly. I'm not sure if the previous owner changed the transmission fluid since the Carfax report doesn't indicate it, but I saw that the two oil change plugs are marked with a green line, which suggests they did.

Currently, I feel like the shifter moves smoothly in some gears, but other times it feels a bit stiff. Don't get me wrong, this doesn't bother me at all since it's my first manual car, but it's strange that in third gear it feels a little stiff at first, and then when you shift back into third it feels smooth.

I've been looking at BG Syncro Shift II 792, which has good reviews, but I've also seen good reviews of Motul Gear Power FE.

Which one would you recommend? You can also suggest other brands; the more options, the better.

If it helps, I'm from the Dominican Republic, a Caribbean country near Puerto Rico, so the weather isn't usually as cold as in the United States.

Redline now has DCT meeting Ford specs for the MT-82. I went from BG to RL and fell like it shifts better.

Creo que el Motul que buscas es el DCTF. No es el que has mostrado en la foto.

Thanks for the clarification. It's strange because that's the one that comes up on the Motul website when I enter my car's specifications. I'll investigate a bit more to see if it's the same one you mentioned or not.

I have used the BG since early on, works well, smoothed the transmssion out quite a bit.
