You need the exact oil spec from Mazda. (Handbook). However I use  the correct grade of Valvoline SynPower fully synthetic gear oil in the gearbox and diff of our FB.(75-90 Grade). Very quiet and smooth with it in.

Just put in Silkolyne Pro-R 75-90 I think it is, the race gear oil in both diff and gear box and it\'s superb, made a huge difference! I can now change gear when it\'s cold and once warmed up it\'s all silky smooth, nice :D

Depends what you want with the car and power outputs normal 75w90 is fine but if moneys no object then go with a full synthetic. Unless you\'ve an aftermarket plate type diff and then you need a wet clutch type oil.
