most people at that mileage recomend switching to a 75-140 full synthetic. i use valvoline synpower because that is what my company sells. some people recomend mobil1. either will work but deff go to 75-140.

ugh you said curse word. NAPA has the 75-140 valvoline synpower.
sorry just has to rep for NAPA as i am employed by them. anyways make sure you invest in fluid pump. they are like 10 bucks but will make job so much easier.

What is the diff capacity.? Info is not in the OM nor in the Journals above. Not a big deal since it's just drain and refill but curious none the less.

73K? Wow!

IIRC there isn't a Honda fluid for the diff in the S.
