This is the Honda Marine (or Motorcycle) GL-5 SAE 90 diff oil.
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...099&hl=diff+oil
I don't know if it is synthetic.
I do know it works
My manual states to change diff oil every 2 years or 40.000 kms.
No difference between "severe" or "normal".
edit : typo: deleted "W", added "SAE"

A local Honda dealer (Hoehn Honda Carlsbad, CA) uses Mobil1 as their differential fluid 80W-90
Just saw a post where a dealer would not put GMSFM in a car because it would "void the warranty".
The Moronathon continues - another affirmation that doing all my own car maintenance pays off.

Thanks for the clarification about oil oxidation RR
I have a question about adding Lubrication Engineer20 as an additive to the diff? I am already using it in the crankcase and tranny (the tranny working so much smoother btw in combo with GMSFM)

I would be very careful what you are putting in your car, esp the tranny. I do not know what LE20 is.
