90PA Oils is for the Diff not tranny. The 300 Gear syn is for the Tranny. You can find online vendors who sells or I know Autobacs sells the some oils but not sure if I've ever seen the 90PA there. 300 Gear for sure. I used to buy that there. Not sure who sells near torrance. I'd look to speed/race shops around your area.

I have honda fluids if anyone needs.... bought more then I needed last time.

It's the Acura stuff but...shame exact sH3T.

It's easy to change yourself, I used one of those caps with a pointy tip like the Mobil Diff fluid, then put a piece of clear hose on. Then I just pumped the new stuff in till level.... done deal.

Just what I like, cheap and fast. < Don't take that out of context

^ read my edit. simple to do, a matter of 15 min = done deal and you dont even have to drive your car anywhere.

unless u dont like that much adventure.

Steps:

1) Jack up car
2) open drain and begin draining
3) drop car and let finish draining
4) raise car and tighten drain plug
5) lower car fill with oil until it leaks out just a tad
6) Tighten fill plug ( u can hit this with a socket wrench extension i think)

Drive it

I used to use Motul 75W90 for diff but I was recommended not to since its not limited slip gear oil. Thats why I'm going to use it for tranny now.
