oooooooooook. Severe gear SAE 75W-90. Synthetic extreme pressure lubricant. SVG-QT. Ask a straight forward question, get a straight forward answer.

Amsoil or not, it is still a multigrade 90 weight.
And that is too thin aka not thick / strong enough IMHO.

Fair enough, but the diff is spotless inside minus the two snapped ears. I really don't believe mine snapped because of the oil. Mi pinion bearings are noisy, but I overtorqued them whn I swapped the flange.

Do we have a pic of where the ears actually come off of? Mine's only done 48k and lost 3 ears and it's whining; I thought Honda's were built to last lol! Well I guess the whine could be the gearbox bearing not sure yet.

Hey all, five years on, and probably 60k miles, diff is still fine, even after tons of launches and track days.

Huzzah.
