i am using some jdm tomei synthetic rear differential gear oil gl5. 75w-90w. honda recommends any
compatible gl-5 classified gear oil usually about 75w-90w. synthetic or not.
with original fluid from factory had noise from the rear diff when taking sharp turns, after putting the tomei diff fluid noise is gone. seems a lot smoother.expensive though.
