I have the same question, specifically about the diff fluid. I am currently running 75W-90 Severe Gear but I've read that the 110 may be closer to the spec of the original fluid?

Transmission should be the 5W-30 Syncromesh and I run the 10W-30 Synthetic in my engine, which I think has been replaced by the 10W-30 "Signature Series" recently.

Amsoil is good stuff. Run the 5W-30 or 0W-30 Signature. Better start up protection - https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/875...30-weight-oil/

In the Diff run the 75W-110.

I personally run the mtf sychromesh in the tranny, severe gear 110 in the rear end, and signature 0-30 in the engine and the amsoil EA filter.

the 0-30 part number is the same stuff as the old signature series. The other grades were mid grade products that are now called signature series and their product numbers haven't changed. Its my belief that only the 0-30 is the true signature series. If you really plan to use the sig series to the stated change interval, then you should probably use the EA filter since it was designed to last that long
