hey guys, I just brought my s2k out this weed and I'm changing all the fluids. I picked up some Castrol 75w90 synthetic gear oil for the diff. is this good enough? and also do I need any LSD additive to add to the gear oil? oh and what oil do you recomend for the tranny? My s2k does see a fair bit of track time and I want the best protection available so any suggestions are much appreciated.

 

if you track alot, go with a thicker oil, like Amsoil 75w110

good enough or extra protection. Good enough will be castrol, extra protection for prolonged period of track use, Amsoil.

If you have a stock diff, get a diff fluid that's Hypoid LSD friendly. Which the Castrol should be.

 

Do you drive your S2k in the colder months?

 

No. I store my s2000 once the temp. drops below 10 degrees. or the first sight of flurries which ever comes first. I dreames about being able to own an s2000 since the first one came out, now that I own my one of dream cars I'm keeping it in the best shape possible.

 

omg dont add ne thing to uer diff oil. please. Motul 7590 is what o use but thats just me, castrol 75w90 synthetic is fine.

 

I read the topic as "LSD Addictive?" and I was all ready to post a reply when I read the post and thought WTF??

 

I picked up castrol syn 75/90 which is hypoid fine it says...however Im going with motul instead which is a little more pricey but hopefully worth it. GL4 and GL5 approved - which to my understanding is the additive package which is important.

Honda has a 80w/90 hypoid gear oil which may be decent as well at a lower price point.

I just put in the revised honda mtf and its excellent. In -5 weather it shifts beautifully right from the get go. what mtf are you on now?

 

oem honda advance.

 

I'm using Honda MTF advanced right now. is there anything better?

 

thanks for the info guys, I really appreciate it. I'm lapping at dunnville this sunday, supposed to rain though..sucks!! but maybe I'll get some drifting practice in, either way it should be a fun day.
