Or , an even cheaper option (but the planets have to align for this one) : Have YOU ever had the diff fluid changed at a HONDA dealership ? If yes , do you still have the receipt ? If yes , check the receipt/invoice/workorder and find out what they put in it . If they put that VTM crap in it , and you can prove it , you may have a case against Honda . They did it to me , but I caught it a week later and had it changed . Read this to give you some of the dirty details (there's also several more threads on this):Diff fluid screw ups
Good luck .

I get a great deal through my work for Fed Ex two day shipping. The shipping would be about $30 for Two day air. Let me know and I can send it out Monday!

Chris, if your diff fluid change happened when I did everyone's cars at Shay's house, you got the good stuff (LE).

Got the cryo diff from Jeff Carlton and Phase 5 is installing it tomorrow. Can someone tell me, specifically, what kind of fluid should be used?

We used Lubrication Engineers (see Marketplace on this site) but we've also used Redline with good results. Don't know if you can find any of that stuff around Jax in time for your install. Worse comes to worse Stage 6 can get you the Honda stuff for now and then change once you get the new stuff. A pain but I'd get the good stuff on the cryo ASAP. See what Stage 6 has. They know they're stuff and I'd trust them.

Tell Rick and the boys hello for Shay. I have an appointment out that way at 11 today. If I get done in time before I have to be back downtown I'll swing by the shop but I'll be in the RL not the S.
