85w-140 for diff?
also i have 6500 miles on my oem PCX oil filter, should i put another 6500 on it? or change it now? the engine oil is currently draining, but filter is still on it.
i have 75w-90 in it now but i think its a bit thin for me here in south fl and honda recomend the straight 90w. I have this fluid just laying around in my garage, and its lucas oil btw

use a new filter or you will leave some dirty oil remaining in the system.
The diff fluid should work, I agree that most of the current 75w90 fluids are thinner than the SAE90 spec that was in place when the S2000 was first developed. I'd recommend 75w-110, a proper SAE90, or 85w-140. Run the fluid you have and see how it feels, I've got Amsoil 75w145 in mine now I think it made the car a bit more sluggish from the 75w-110 I was running previously, but it should be good protection wise.

Change it. If you're too cheap to use a new oil filter every oil change, you should sell the car to someone that will treat the car right.
and just FYI i have like 4 mobil 1 filters and 2 oem PCX just hangn in my garage, i could change it if i wanted.
about to be 12 years old......

even brake fluid is golden( so is the clutch fluid)
