Honda Hypoid Gear Oil
So I know our diffs are finicky and I know dealerships have occasionally given out VTM4 fluid by mistake, so I'm wondering about this one here. Anyone know if it's a-ok?
The guy at the parts counter dug this up. It's 80w90, GL-5 rated, has hypoid in the name, and costs $10. Am I good or what? Please for the love of god, do not change the topic in an argument about LE607 vs. M1 or whatever. There are enough of those threads around!

I thought so too, but I noticed in a thread from a long time ago that negcamber (dude with a lot of stars) claimed it was bad. I think he got it confused with the VTM4 fluid, but who knows...

Is that a Honda fluid ?, I didn't think Honda made a fluid for our diffs, perhaps they are using it in other vehicles in addition to the S2k. The spec. of the fluid that you list is sufficient for our diffs.

I believe this fluid is speced for a motorcycle.
As long it works well and won't blow the diff, I'm fine with it!
