i'm at 30k on my '01. I read that Honda fluid should not be used. What is best?

 

I use this stuff and I'm quite fond of it. Tried it for the first time this year.

search these forums...but, I use any synthetic 75w90 or 75w110 that is LSD compatible. (for the record I use amsoil gear oil 75w110 and change every year and run 2 magnetic OEM plugs).

The S2000 needs hypoid gear oil. Noted in your owner's manual -- you got one? If ya can't find it:Notes here indicate the SAE spec has changed in the past few years and is about the same as the current 110.

Lots of recommendtions. I use LE 1605.

I use Mobil 1 Gear Oil.

 

I've done a total of 3 fluid changes since ownership using Mobil 1 75W-90

 

most Honda dealers now have a suitable fluid replacement, a while back they did not and were giving out the wrong stuff. I still think aftermarket fluids are better and I have liked the LE1605 (Lubrication Engineers) in my diff, I've had the fluid analyzed after some use and it gave really good wear protection compared to other fluids I ran. Lots of good fluids out there such as Amsoil 75w-110 and the likes.

 

LE1605 ftw!!

 

Amsoil 75w-110.
