New Gear set
My new gear set is ready to go back in the car
Should I use non-synthetic gear oil for the break-in period or just use the good stuff (LE607)?
Thanks.

Any gear lube is not that expensive to begin with. Just get what's easiest for you to procure. I broke mine in with Mobil 1 75W90 and have been using it ever since. Fluid analysis has shown that the rear end has been doing just spectacular.

What about 607 Almasol SAE 90?

Also, I've always wondered about a product made by a bunch of guys who calls themselves "Lubrication Engineers" that they have never gotten an official "rating" for this fluid. I have never seen on the LE607, the "GL-5" rating that Honda requires.

It really doesn't matter what you use as long as it's GL-5 rated and you dump it after about 1000 miles.
Just out of curiousity, what did the fluid look like after 1000 miles? Was there a lot of debris/metal shavings?
Is the 1000 miles just a good round number? Any benefit to changing it sooner or later?
