long story short the dealer in my country didnt import the S2000 & i know that they will use the CR-V oil,

i found only Mobil 80W90, should i use it?

also we dont have LE607

what should i get??

Try LE1605 I beleive the 607 is discontinued. Try ordering from www.ricks2k.com not sure if he ships internationally though.

Sounds like 80W-90 is your closest bet then. Should work fine.

I use Amsoil 80w-90 and it has been great to me so far.

You could ask in a truck workshop or in a marine workshop?
Ask what kind of hypoid gear oil they have.

Can you get Castrol?

I used royal purple 75w90 GL5 gear oil. Seems good so far as I've only had it for about 1000 miles.
