Road Rage is about as straightforward as one can get. I didn't detect any indication of taking things personally, just someone trying to set the record straight about empiracle data. I'm surprised that this has become so contentious when all one has to do is read the information and make a decision for yourself.
slipstream444 - As far as Amsoil paying for any oil-related damage to a differential, if the end cap fails, or the ring and pinion gear breaks I bet a beer that that Amsoil will determine that it's not an oil-related failure. Can you report on any cases where Amsoil warranted a differential on any car? I'd be very interested to read about it.

The S is my 4th Honda and I have come to respect the engineering that goes into Hondas. If they call for 90W in the diff, that is what I will use until someone proves them wrong. They do ask for 90W in the S. LE607 looks to be the best 90W available and that is what I am using.
