LE607 and Honda MTF. What do you want to know in particular? These two are the most used diff/tranny fluids on S2ki. No trouble reports that I'm aware of.

From your reading, you already know that most people think the GM stuff doesn't last as long as Honda MTF.

Folks covet my LE607 -- I have one bottle left.

Where can I find this, LE607 Thingamajigger? I have never changed the fluids on my car except for oil I think I should since I am about to hit 100K

I called up LE and the product manager "claims" that LE1605 is the best replacement for LE607. I'm a distrusting individual so we wait for the reviews.

I use Honda MTF, but going to change to Motul 300 Gear 75W90 for tranny. For diff I use Motul 90PA mineral Oil. Both have done well for me.

the 3 fluids need changing. (oil/ diff/tranny) and ill most likely do it this wknd.

"?" is.. if im sticking with honda fluids, ill just have em rack it up at the dealer and drive home w it all done at cost.

but, i like learning/working on the beast soo.. willing to purchase the recommended stuff, but is it really worth it? *time is the sacrifice, i can only do it fri/sat/sun since ill have to drive over to my buddies house, no tools at my place.. but i dunno if hes got the 23/24 mm wrench whereas im sure the service dept does...

i drive the car pretty hard in the cyn, but usualy cruise omw to work/back. so i want something that will last long.

ALso, i ordered the RE070's today will let you guys know how they feel next week...

You can come over to my parents house this Sat, and I can help you do it if needed

Heather has her wedding shower, and she will have Kailey all day. So, I am off the hook
