Ok, first of all I do trust these guys to do my work they are very reputable and I have never had a problem there before. Everyone can make a mistake and I wasn't sure if one was made (a very costly mistake at that)
With that said, I went by Honda this morning and spoke to a couple people in parts and in service. Although, I never really found out exactly what type of fluid they put in my differential. They appear to have known the difference in the differential fluids.
They said they put Hypoid 80w90 in it. (is this correct fluid)
I'm still planning to put some Mobil 1 in there as soon as I can find some.

the question is, what is the dealership going to use to put in the diff this time around? You may just want to get the Mobil 1 yourself and hand it to them.

Hypoid 80w90 is fine to use in the s2000's diff

Just to add...I've used Mobil1 75W90 synthetic gear oil with great success in my car. countless clutch dumps and tons of drifting, plus a weekend at the track. Fluid came out like new, I was pretty shocked.
It's also available all over the place
