USE the honda branded MTF and one of the non Honda branded fluids for the diff.(LE,MOBIL ect). Per this forum, Honda doesn't have the correct diff fluid for this car.

why do you say they don't have the right one seeing as they designed/made the car? I've not got mind yet but plan on getting H MTF anyway.

I've bought Mobil 1 SHC fully syn 75w90 for the diff.

After reading about Amsoil 75w110 on here I may try it, if I hadn't already got the Mobil 1.

Because it took honda over SEVEN YEARS to finally stock something for the s2k diff. And there are still dealers that dont sell it. During that time, Honda has destroyed countless s2k difs by using the dif fluid for the CR-V and Pilot.

Dont buy any dif fluid from Honda. They dont deserve to sell the stuff they sell now.

Go get some Mobil1 75w90 from any auto parts. They sell it all over and I have put it to the untimate test of time in the s2k diff.
