Ok so I am just a little curious

What Fluids are recommended for the S2K's Transmissions and differentials
And how often should they be replaced

I Use:
Transmission Fluid - Redline MT-90
Diff Fluid - Mobil 1 75w-90
Motor oil - Honda 10w-30 (aka Mobil 1)

What Fluids do you use?

I believe thers TON of info on S2kI, but i thought we can discuss...

 

I use Castrol GTX 10w-30, and Mobil 75w-90 for the diff

havent had to change out my trans fluid yet

 

where is it said "honda" oil is "mobil 1"?

id rather just buy mobil 1.

and i use honda mtf.

Honda's oil is Mobil1, I believe there’s even a Mobile1 logo some where on it.
Id have to check my bottles I have

 

id still rather buy mobil 1 straight up.

 

Well that’s you, then.

I personally buy it from the dealer.
But that’s because my buddy works at the parts counter, so i get a little homie hook up.

Not sure if there’s a difference in price, but that’s the only reason why I wouldn’t buy it from the dealer

 

I used to use Mobil 1 10w30, but right now I am using Royal Purple 10w30.

RP is ok, I might switch back to Mobil.

For my tranny I use GM Syncromesh Friction Modified.

For my diff I use the Amasol sae90

 

Honda oil is Mobil 1? Are you talking about Honda's synthetic oil? Does Honda even have a synthetic oil? News to me....

"manufactured to honda's requirements by ExxonMobil".

"Honda's oil is Mobil1"

 

i use Mobil1 10w30 for the engine and motul gear 300 75w90 for the tranny and diff.

 

i use Mobil1 i havent had a chance to do my tranny and diff yet, but i have a buddy that uses a company called AMSOIL for the engine, AMSOIL syncomesh for the tranny and Severe gear for the diff, said it does wonders for the car, i driven it when he changed the tranny fluid, and it ***** so much better

ANYONE KNOWS FOR SUUUUUUUUUUUURE?


valvoline maxlife, GM sycnromesh FM, m1 75/90, valvoline synpower d0t4 brake/clutch

 

how often are you people changing the transmission fluid?

 

you missed my sarcasm.

theres no way honda oil is mobil1 synthetic. just because is made by exxonmobil company, doesnt mean anything. exxon also makes really crappy conventional oil as well. kinda like honda oil filters made by fram....

S2k one thankfully is not a Fran filter.

Motor Oil: Castrol Syntec or Motul 5w-40 for track driving. 10w-30 for street driving.
Tranny Fluid: Honda MTF
Diff Fluid: Motul 90 PA

 

i know this is a bit off the subject, but people claim the s2k oem oil filter is pretty good,

just wondering how it compares to the "puralator" the 6 dollar one no the 2-3 dollar cheaper one???

 

20w50

 

The PureOne filter? It's the best filtering filter out there, unfortunately as a result of this, it's also very restrictive, therefore not the best filter you can use on a high-revving engine.
