VTM-4 fluid

Is there a good alternative to the VTM-4 fluid, such as 75w 90?

No, it's nothing like gear oil, more like ATF. ONLY use OE VTM-4 fluid.

Funny to see this on here as I was just talking to a former Acura Tech about the MDX fluids and he told me the exact same thing. It is nothing like gear oil and he's seen people screw up the differential by using stuff other than the OEM VTM-4 fluid.
