Doug if you step back and take a breath on this one you'll be putting a new final drive in before 10,000 miles. It's not the gear set that's gonna fail. Its still hitting at 1oz. Its the bearings. If you change your oil yourself and the differential fails at say 10,000 miles , Honda won't replace it. Its on you. You are supposed to check it when you do a service. It calls for inspection at 8,000 miles. So if you think warranty will cover it , it doesn't.
