Went by the local Honda dealership today and got some diff oil. They told me the front holds about 5 oz and the rear holds about 8 oz . But my owners manual says the front holds 22.5 oz . I guess I will see who is right tomorrow when I change it

The manual is correct....It is strange...the front holds a bunch...and the rear just a little..
Get you a good small spout flexible funnel..makes it easier...plenty of rags. The gears are real close to the opening, so it is a little tricky to get a funnel spout in there unless it is small.

I think synthetic oil is ok if you don't change it much, I ride in water from time to time so I tend to change the oil more often and can't see spending the extra money on the synthetic.

I'm running Amsoil in mine. I think it quieted the rear end down a little bit.

I just serviced my front and rear diffs and installed synthetic 85-140. Ran some hard trails yesterday and noticed a quieter drive train.

I know this is a really old post, but I put in 75w90 Mobil one synthetic that I had already. It almost silenced my rear end noise... I really only hear the engine noise now. So you don’t have to go with heavy weight synthetic to quiet the rear end down, as long as it’s a quality synthetic.
