Redline or RP 75W90 will work for the rear end.

I run Royal Purple in the motor, tranny, AND diff. Royal Purple Gearmax is essentially rebadged LE 607, since it contains the same Synerlec technology.

Brake fluid is ATE Super Blue. Clutch is the same. Honda Type 2 coolant.

ok i changed all my stuff and this is what i used...

motor: Kam2 racing oil 10w30 ... it was free
and a good old fram 3593a filter (i have a bunch laying around the house)
trans: Royal purple syncromesh
Rear: Royal purple Gearmax 75w90 with some LSD aditive but lucus oil

Everything seems to be running really smooth now with all that... i did notice there was some metal shaving on the Rear drain bolt!!!... is that normal ?

The shavings were seen during the fluid swap?

Good choice on the trans and diff fluid. I'm all for RP.
