Default What differential fluid are you using?

I ready to change my diff fluid and been doing a lot of research.. I'm in between using Amsoil Severe Gear 75w-90 or Mobil 1 75w-90 or 75w-110 if I can find it. Any thoughts? I have Amsoil tranny fluid and it corrected my 2 nd gear pop out and I use Mobil 1 oil. I'm favoring the Amsoil but I wanted to see what you all think. Is there a difference if any by using 75w-90 as opposed to 75w-110?

I do not believe in putting a multi viscocity fluid in a diff Honda clearly specs as getting a singular weight
This is what I use, you can buy it from Rick's

I use Mobil1 75w90 LS synth. I think any of the above are fine, just don't let a dealership service the diff because they'll put Passport 4wd diff fluid in there.

I'll have my supercharger in by the end of next week. I picked up a bottle of Ansoil 75w-90 that I think I'll use. Ive had good luck with Amsoil when I put it in the tranny.

Been using it for years. Seven seasons of autocross, never an issue. Available at most motorcycle shops.

Good stuff.
I have Exxon Mobil stock, so I feel obliged to use their products.
They work too.
