Default Differential Fluid

I guess Honda does not make a diff fluid for the S. I just went by the dealer and they said there is no Honda fluid. What should I use?

Pick your poison honestly.

Some run Mobil1 75w90 and other makes.

I've been running Mobil one since my last change and its been fine. I'm going to switch to Amsoil 75w110 though as from what I've read its best suited for the stock LSD.

They never made an SAE90 Honda gear oil, they have since been using 80w90 which they source from their marine unit, so many dealers are carrying 80w90 Honda gear oil and using that in the S2K diff.
