Tranny & diff both with Honda stuff. (MTF and GL5 oil.)

Btw Jaxx...
When typing in CAPS @ work you could try the SMALL SIZE , this is how it looks then instead of SMALL SIZE
Honda doesn't have a differential fluid... I wonder what they're actually putting in there.

I use Mobil 1 75w90 for the diff and Honda MTF for the transmission.

I use Honda MTF in the tranny and I have used the Mobil 1 75w90 before in the diff, but I just ordered some LE607 last week to use this time around.

Well.. there is Honda USA and Honda Europe.
I have seen a can of Honda diff oil 75W-90 GL-5 rated @ my dealer with my own eyes
I asked if I could see the can and they knew what I was talking about.
The dealer is know in the part of the Netherlands where I live for good service on S2000's as many go there. Same with the PCX filter, they know the part number without looking at any computer

When you say "cold" what temperature range are you talking about? Below 40F? 32F?

cold meaning maybe 20's or less. the pour point is only -11 (vs like -34 for Mobil 1) so once you get near 10-20 degrees, it's getting closer than you'd want IMO.
