It's all in the owner's manual. Differential uses SAE 90 hypoid gear oil GL5 or GL6. The SAE grade has changed since our cars were new. I think 150 grade is closer to original spec.

Amsoil MTF seems to be hard to get atm. There was a US seller on eBay a month or so ago, but they're all sold out now. Only a UK seller atm; but shipping is too much.

Is Royal Purple MTF any good? I noticed LHT (a shop on YT) uses/praises it. Is Royal Purple better or worse than Honda MTF? (I have Honda MTF in my car currently; but I need to change the MTF soon).

Or to save on shipping, call a few independent AMSOIL dealers in the area and see if they have some in-stock. Retail stores might have higher prices.

I use Amsoil Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid 5W-30 and Severe Gear 75W-140.

I have been led to believe that this is one of the best for the S2K transmission, have not tried it yet though.
