Default differential fluid

Can anyone recommend a good differential fluid? Honda dosen't make any, SAE 90 is recommended but impossible to find, I've been using 75 W 90 but would like to use the best available when possbile. Thanks!

LE607 would be my recommendation. It's highly recommended by many owners. Not available in stores but I think you can buy it from the marketplace on this board.

We are lucky enough to have a resident tribalogist on the site who goes by the name of Road Rage. He has suggested and recommended using Lubrication Engineers' LE 607 differential fluid which is a true SAE 90. I, as well as many others, have taken his advice and had great results with the fluid. It comes highly recommended by me and you can even purchase it here at the S2KI marketplace.

There is a DIY guide in "Under the Hood" FAQ's.

It's very, very easy.

I learned back in June how to do it and used diff fluid by Lubrication Engineers. Haven't had any complaints about it thus far. Most of the So Fla members who did dif fluid changes that day also went w/ LE.
