I have an 04 S and need to get my diff and tranny oil changed. My question is I have my own diff fluid (LE-607) and my own tranny fluid (GM synchromesh) and was wondering if I take this to the honda dealer will they use my fluids or will they deny this. Anybody know the answer to this. I'd do it myself but I have no where to change it. I live in a condo.
They'll probably do it - mine did. Make sure the GM SM is friction-modified. I tried it myself and went back to OEM - didn't notice much difference either way.
I don't know about bringing fluid that isn't oem there as I'm thinking if something were to happen to your differential while still in warranty they'll probably blame it on the le067 fluid that you bought in......
thats what my concern was. I'm not sure if the Honda dealer near my house even cares the diff fluid for the S. I guess I could always ask tomorrow morning. I hope its not really an issue. I have about 1,800 miles now and i hear a noise that might be coming from the diff. When the car is cold and hasnt been driven like in the morning there is no noise but when i've been driving for a little it only makes a noise when i'm taking off from a stop and turning to the left or right. It sounds like and rubbing or groaning noise. Not sure what it is but i want to change that oil out.
Okay, since you've fully filled us in here, I'll change my advice to "Tell Honda about your potential problem and let them do whatever they want". If you have an issue, you should be extra-conservative in your actions.
I always do my own work. Im too paranoid about other people f***in it up. Thats just me though. I dont see them having a problem with you bringing your own fluids though. Techs. could care less.
