You mean the Amsoil MTF (Synthetic Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid)? Their site shows it as meeting Honda specs, and lists it as 5w30, so I thought it was motor oil based. Seems like it has the right additives since it shifts great.

Royal Purple 75w90. I also used Mobil 1 75w90 and Castrol synthetic for my girl friend 2004 Toyota RAV-4 transfer case and differential with positive result. The best fluid for the s2000 is SAE90, or hypoid gear oil API service GL5/GL6. LE has this type of fluid and Royal Purple has it but only available in a 5 gallons container. Probabaly will last the life time of ownwership since the s2000 only use up to 1 quart of differential oil. SAE90 is thicker fluid compare to 75w90, but when temperature goes down to sub-C. 75w90 is an optimum choice, so use your judgment according to your climate. I change the differential fluid annually regardless of milage (with an exception of after a track day/session).
