i already got some mobile 1 10w30.
planning to get the honda's MTF (is it only at honda)

for diff fluid is there a specific type or anything?
like how engine oils have specific weights?

and the oil filter?bought a fram one but after seeing how poorly made it is.
im gonna want to buy something else.

I wouldn't use Mobil 1 in the S considering how much it seems to burn up. RP is great stuff. I always used Redline Oil. it's available at.. Red Line in Mapunapuna, although they are not affiliated in anyway with Redline Oils. used it is Diff/Tranny/Engine for 45,000 of the hardest possible miles. I always used the Honda OEM filter. they are just fine unless you are going to be in LeMans next week.
