Yep. 
As far as I remember it did.
(and its SAE 90, not 75W-90, but thats ok beacause manual states Hypoid SAE 90 GL-5 only)
Ohh.. ?
But Honda = Honda to me
The part number = 08251-999-100HE and via Google I found a number of PDF documents in Spanish, Swedisch, French and Danisch that might suggest its from the Honda Marine department as there were other marine oils & greases and what not in those pdf's.
It is listed in those pdf's as: mineral transmission oil with quality EP additives for use in hypoid transmissions that require EP oils. (as far as I understand French)
And it comes in 1 liter bottles.
Or the Marine department borrowed it too from the motorcycle depertment.
But I found no hits suggesting that.
So now I have to choose between what you tell me or what I found
Lucky for me my dealership does. Shows they know what they do to service S2000's properly.
I guess so. But Honda = Honda to me.
I have nothing to say about this but I just had to use this last piece of text too, to make this a xviper kinda reply
No hard feelings I hope
Btw: I promise not to post in this thread anymore
Does it say hypoid gear fluid?
As far as I remember it did.(and its SAE 90, not 75W-90, but thats ok beacause manual states Hypoid SAE 90 GL-5 only)
That's not technically Honda's automotive diff oil.
But Honda = Honda to me
It's actually a motorcycle gear fluid from the motorcycle division

Hence the reason car dealerships don't carry it.
So technically there is no honda diff fluid in their automotive division.
This is the same around the world.
No hard feelings I hope

Engine: Pennzoil Platinum or Mobil 1 or Valvoline Maxlife Synthetic, whichever is cheaper for 1 year OCI. Havoline GF4/SM for 6 months OCI. Half bottle of VSOT is added with either synthetic or dino oil.
