they say LE is not good for below -11 if i remember right,...i use it year round and it gets down into the teens/sometimes single digits. its a little notchy the first thing in the morning but i run the gears before i leave my garage and its fine.

Notchy? Are you putting it in your transmission?

So I've looked through the FAQ's and stickies and did searches, and there's been a large variety of opinions on which fluid to get. I'm not asking for the best one, but just for my circumstances, which would be more recommended.
Like any fluid thread (as you've seen yourself), depends on who you talk to... How is this thread going to be any different?

For the transmission, Honda MTF is the best, I dont care what anyone says
What have you actually used though? I've been happier with Amsoil so far.

But really.. all of those fluids are good, so pick what is convenient for you. we all have different opinions.
Precisely. That should have been the conclusion from reading the other threads.

WHOAOOAA my bad i should re read my posts before submitting them
I guess the way i meant to describe it is .......the first few blocks i drive or so, are sort of.............not as smooth feeling as when it moves around a bit. how a thicker fluid i would assume would feel. you can kinda feel it as being rougher in the rear.
on another note, in the cold temps, i always go through the gears a few times in the garage , it seems to help the notchy trannys

I'm never gonna be able to redeem myself after that post hahahaha

Mobil 1 75W-90 w/ LS? I thought the LS version was only needed for clutch type LSDs, while S2k's have Torsen LSDs, correct?
