I have not, RR. I've had mine in all summer with no concerns.

Do note, some of the New England folks who are planning to drive their cars through the winter have removed the 607 from their diffs. I'm planning to leave mine in since the most I'll do is roll it out of the garage (and only on "warmer" days), but the others are being safe going with something a lower pour point.

I will be spending two days on the track during the Fall Colors event coming up in two weeks.

 

So we can safely say Redline MTL is good for the tranny......right?
Besides the LE-607, what else can we safely use........Redline MT-90?
I'm just trying to simplify things a bit for myself.

Thanx for all the info,
Chris

 

This thread is about differential fluid - I assume you are now asking about transmission fluid. DO NOT put LE-607 in your transmission, nor Honda-recommended transmission fluid in your differential!

Owners have been very happy with Honda MTF and GM Synchromesh-Friction Modified in their transmissions. Redline MTL is not quite the correct weight, so use it at your own risk.

 

Yeah that's what I meant that the LE-607 was for the diff.

Thanx,
Chris

 

FWIW, I'm continuing with LE-607, even here in New England, though many of my peers have moved back to Redline or Mobil 1 (I think). I've got 10K miles on my first fill of the LE607, which we did at 22K miles evicting the factory fill, and I'm putting in a new quart next week. The car has been garaged most of the winter here, and has only been back on the road for a few weeks. Coldest driving temperature was about 10degF a few weeks ago. Coldest garage temp was about -5 this winter, but I didn't touch the car during that period.

I did two track days in mid-fall last year. No sign of trouble.

 

Please don't mind the bump but I have a question. I've used the Amsoil Series 2000 75W90 for the past 6K miles, my car now has about 10K miles. I do notice a fair amount of differential noise during slow turns.

Road Rage has mentioned the 80W90 weight a few posts above.. Should I perhaps switch to the Mobilube HD 80W90? http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorO...lus_80W-90.aspx

Amsoil does not have the Series 2000 on their website anymore, they now have "Severe Gear" 75w90 or 80w90 Gear lube. Which of those would be better? I don't drive in the winter but I will drive in temps close to 0-5 Deg Celsius.

 

LE 607 90w gear oil is very good for s2k differentals, are you sure the noise is coming from your diff?

 

I'm not using the LE, I'm using the Amsoil 2000 75w90

Yes, it's a differential "whine" at slow turns..

 

has anyone seen road rage?

 

I've seen this LE-607 listed as an additive. Is the consensus that the LE-607 should be used by itself in the dif?

What is the preferred oil for the trans?
