Is the Honda VTM fluid a mineral or synthetic?
No and no. The VTM-4 system is not meant to be used with any other fluid other than the Honda VTM-4 fluid. The VTM system is not a typical rear differential system and thus only uses the Honda fluid. You can use regular diff fluid if you're in a bind, but you will need to replace the fluid ASAP and replace it with the Honda fluid or you will fry your VTM-4 system.
