Title: Gearbox Oil...
Post by: Shaq on February 02, 2004, 03:29:49 PM
I am having the clutch replaced this wednesday, and was wondering what gearbox oil should i use? i performed a search and found that "synthetic works very well in these boxes" (quote)

and also what grade?


thanks in advance

Sorry, missed this one.

I have just changed the gearbox and diff oil to Redline MT-90. Looking back I would have gone for the Heavy Duty stuff from Redline, as the way we drive these cars is not easy.

ran redline but still found minor shavings upon drainin....
neo provides for smoother shiftin..
a tad bit longer to warm up than redline..

Hi,

just use synthetic for gearbox and diff.  I use any brand, them just should be conform to Mazda specs.
