Its a 75w-80 GL4, with a 8.5cst

So it seems like Pentosin MTF2 is discontinued and not available in most stores.

The OP stated somewhere that he's switched to Elf, and it has similar properties to MTF2 and is easier to purchase as well.

Has anyone tried it out?

well
it looks similiar to what i tried on my car-
ELF 75w80NFP (pretty similair to the NFJ)
so far is the best oil ive tried (out of OEM,Motul 300)next oil im going to try the pentosin MTF2 and see how it goes.(got the feeling that it will be very close to the elf or even better).
anyhow -the 2nd cold issues are disappeared by 99%.
i still got the 3rd gear stiffness/grind feel that happens every 3-4times i shift from 2 to 3 gear.
hopefully the mtf will solve it and if not ill try get a new box under warranty(which i suppose will feel the same as mine at all)
*update
seems like after awhile this oil getting weaker and cant work properly on high rpm-SO NOT good! :P keep looking for another oil
