I'll be picking up some Amsoil 75w-110 from a local Amsoil dealer for about $15 later today. My only thing is, Amsoil makes no mention of LS or LSD applications on their product page. Will it still work well and not hurt the diff?

when i cheked honda HGO characteristics .. it looks pretty close to 85w90 go5 oil and with mineral base!!!
i recommended sinthetic 80w90 go5 from of my trusted sponsor brand for my friend (daily drive stock and want oem only) it will be little better friction when cold and also little safer for gears and when hot...
for hard drive or track ill vote for 75-110 or 75w140

GL-5 Hypoid Gear Oil in the proper grade is what ya need. Multi-grade full synthetics have advantages in all lubrication scenarios. Don't get distracted by "limited slip" designations. You've seen mine. There are many others.
