Very interesting post on the differentials, now the big question: What is the closest thing to Genuine Honda CVT Fluid? The Honda dealerships here do not carry it, probably because the government requires importers of lubricants to register, pay $200 per year per product plus the legal fees for a 2 month process, report sales and imports per product on a monthly basis and pay a high tax per liter.
So they use 15W-40 diesel engine oil in the transmissions and for the differential they use Dexron until the vehicle gets 50,000 or so km on it, they standard 80W-90. I have so far figured out that the Chevron Delo 400 Synthetic 5W-40 is a pretty close match to the Honda Manual Transmission Fluid, but what about the CVT fluid?
