Well i just noticed in the manuel it says only to replace every 2 years. I just bought 2 bottles of the 80w90 fluid to do it but not sure if i should wait or what?

If you are talking about just changing the fluid i say to do it. unless you are never in the water.

I did mine as part of the first service and was amazed at how simple it was. took me no time at all and the oil isnt that expensive to worry about.

cheap insurance

With all the water your in, you should change it. Its cheap, I do it at every oil change.

guess ill get around to do it before the rabbit run. Does it take just one of those honda 80w90 bottles for each diff?

 

[deadmullet]

1 bottle for both or just under 1 bottle

Yes, just under two bottles total. If buy the big bottles of automobile gear oil it will only take one, unless you have to "flush" junk/water out. Which I bet you will.

For years I have been using 80w90 Castrol gear oil and never replaced one part in the diffs.For both diffs it takes 1 pint only,I change it like every 40 hours and still looks new(water riding alot)
