Get some LE607 for the dif. Changing from the crap that's in there now to this stuff will do lots of good and no harm.

uh oh, if you had your honda dealer change your diff fluid, and now you are hearing strange noises, I bet they put in the wrong diff fluid. i bet they put in the one made for the AWD CRV, and this fluid is not compatible with the s2000's differential. i would check your work order and see if it specifies what fluid they used or call them and ask.

do a search, several people have had the dealer replace the differential fluid and used the wrong fluid and toasted the differential.

No, the Torsen diff in this car doesn't require friction modifiers like other clutch type LSDs sometimes benefit from.
