oil additives
This guy already started two threads over on Honda-Tech forums. Seems he put 75W85 gear oil in this thing and was already told to drain,flush and replace with the proper MTF. Where the ranny stands now is anyones guess.

and i did add that we don't a good quality honda MTF in my country, i wish i had (I REALLY DO)... so im forced to go for other brands....
when i go the shop to buy a 10W30 grade MTF as u said they always give me engine oil, so i think using engine oil in the tanny would be a bad idea??? innit??
ok so i got my oil changed again as recommended by so many ppl, before i had liqui moli gear oil gl4 only driven 10 km with it,
so i went to honda and they gave me honda MTF , but as a note its different form the ones u have in usa. i took some pictures for u all to see

the gear changes feel smoother but the transmission is WAY nosier, guess back to the old drawing board , innit?
my s2k also need a diff oil change and honda recommended that i use CRV, DPSF II in my Differential??????
didnt buy it coz i taught i reconfirm from u guys, also i read we can use gear oil like GL4 in the diff, if so can i use the liqui moli GL4 in my diff??

I'm not familiar with the MTF you bought, but definitely don't use the CRV gear oil they are trying to sell you. It will ruin your differential in short order!
Your differential requires GL5 or GL6 (hard to find) hypoid type SAE 90 or SAE 110 gear oil. GL4 is for transmissions. It doesn't have enough EP additives for a hypoid type differential.

Motor oil in the tranny is not good.
