Hope so, that is the stuff I'm changing to on my next change. Currently using LE but not that easy to find.

Lots of people run that fluid and viscosity without issue, I personally think a 75w110 is a better match for what our diffs. require but the Mobil1 75w90 has proven to work well on many s2k's.

I still don't believe the multi weight is the best way to go, but lots of people seem to run it, I think because it is easy to find

that and the fact that the Honda dealers are using it for most fills now, though they use an 80w90 Honda branded fluid.

I ran it for two years without any problems. I have since recently switched to Amsoil severe gear 75w-90 since my local NAPA carries Amsoil so its also easy to get. So far i like the Amsoil better.
