Thanks, glad to know a simple change will fix it. Looks like this shop is just down the street from me! thanks for the recommendation!
thanks, i'll try the LE1605 as Kyras recommended, it's a straight 90 from what i'm reading.
EDIT: Just called Shane and he said he doesn't stock LE1605 anymore. He stocks Amsoil 75w140 and says plenty of guys find it works well. Wonder if i should order LE1605 and wait for it to arrive or settle for the amsoil 75w140 in stock...

You're welcome, Chris. I'll call Spokes Man (Jerry) and see if he wants to add his opinion.

I've used LE607 (The old formula, that is now updated with LE1605). LE is not a popular item in the east coast b/c its thick. (–11 Degrees F is all it can tolerate)
I've used it since 2000 (10 years) on all my S2000's and have no issues. The only complaint, its too thick, so its hard to PUMP in. The old school people only had RickS2k back then, and Hardtop guy, so we are used to using those old products.. and for Tranny, we use GM Synchromesh.
But I have not heard of any issues with LE and Motul P90A. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE CORRECT Motul, or your diff will blow. (I know a few)

^ Should be the other way around I believe.....
Hot climate = thicker oil.
Cold climate oil is already too damn thick, so thick my dad broke the shift lever off his car back in Alaska when I was really young. LOL

"Motyl Gear 75W90" and "Motul Gear 300 75W90" are the oils that BC are referring to where owners had problems, variable-viscosity type which have the range that drops below SAE90 like the Redline 75W90 that damaged yours.
