Just had mine done on the 60k service. Contact honda to get another owners manual (or try ebay) because the service intervals are listed and they are important. Your differential is the weakest link in your car, treat it right.

Also, check to see if it was changed before you bought it.

I got the service paper which says it was serviced at honda 74miles (major service)


it only says engine,trans oil,brakes..etc

nothing written about the diff.

So i guess i must check it out and stop playing around in the car.

Advice for the differential:

Get some clothes you dont care about. Burn them after messing with 90 weight oil. Get a box of SOS pads. Use them in a feeble attempt to get 90 weight oil off of you. You can alos try burning the smell of of yourself, results may vary.

Seriously, 90 weight oil, if you haven't encountered it yet, has a mystefying aroma that last all day, week and month. Try to keep it off you and your clothes.

You should have changed it about 70,000mi ago, and every 6,000-10,000 mi since.
