I see that Rick's Accessories now carries LE 1605 SAE 110 GL5 gear oil. Has anyone tried it yet? Feedback?

 

Wow that,s some heavy stuff Factory Honda is 90w

 

I think the 1605 is based on the new SAE ratings, so SAE110 is equivalent to the old SAE90. Clear as mud? Good.

 

LE 607 is been replaced by LE1605...Just got off the phone with LE..

 

That is why we are now stocking it. 1605 replaced 607. So since it is so new, there would be few that have used it, and less would have used it for any length of time.

 

Info Noted in FAQs.

 

any details on the replacement?

same stuff, different number?

or different stuff...but similar?

 

Simillar stuff, they have added a new additive to the mix.

 

makes me want to change my diff fluid now

 

Switch over to LE 1605 today after 18k hard miles on the LE607. The oil still looks very clean..very little fuzz on the drain plug...The LE607 is good stuff... The new LE1605 feels little tacky when rub between the fingers.. It took a little longer to pump the fluid back in to the pumpkin. Other than that, i didn't notice any difference when i put the pedal to the metal!
