Honda calls for 90w fluid for the diff. I use LE-607 90W and it's great.

It is not that bad, just don't be in a hurry. Oil can't be shipped via Air

do NOT use 75w140. unless of course you want to spend several grand on a new diff.

if you want something you have quick access to, just use mobil 1 75w90 synthetic.
