had diff fluid swapped at 30k

car at 40k

no abrasion on diff to show it touched anything ro anything touched it.seal in tact not leaking... drain and fill bolts fine.

seems like 2 bolts on bottom might be leakin... put instant gasket on it.. to see if thats it will check again daily..

^That's what I use. Tell us if the fluid comes back.

There is no correct Honda fluid for this diff, at least with the car division. The only "Honda" diff fluid that will work on this car is from their motorcycle division.

Or the "Honda" Marine SAE 90 GL-5 hypoid oil.

(I just have to say it.... )

Could that leaking oil come from the oil filled mounting dampers?
(The picture doesn't work.. just guessing)

rijowysock

oil filled mounting damper?

rijowysock

if their is no correct honda fluid then what do they use when i go in for diff fluid flush

That's always the question, if you don't ask you just simply don't know.

If it makes you feel any better, if they'd used the crap they put in most honda cars, your diff would be dead already.

rijowysock

called honda.. he said come in,

their gon check/change diff fluid and oil

since everyone says they dont have the right diff fluid can i buy at local autozone? or similar and what to buy

Use 75 W 90 GL 5 gear oil.
I use Redline,a lot of people use Mobil 1.
