I have redline in my diff which seems to be fine. I did have redline in my gear box but it was too crunchy when changing gear so I now have whatever honda put in at last service. For the clutch and brakes I just have DOT 4 non specific.

Got the Silkolene diff oil up for sale if you're interested. Used it for 3 years with no problems. The thread is over in the for sale forum somewhere.
