I know of no reason not to use Royal Purple. It's a very good product by all standards. With the exception of the 6-spd, the NB's shifter turret is the same as the NA's. The six speed turret requires no oil.

Be sure to remove as much of the oil as possible in the turret. A turkey baster (sp?) works quite well.

i guess I'll go run back outside and open it up.. if there is oil, i shall change it.

Says who.....miata god? Or a thread *****? (sun)

i found that totally uncalled for. i gave my 2 cents and he found the links that i was referring to as RP not being a good oil to use.

Mmmm.... thread *****. Agggghhhhh....... [/homer simpson]

I'm not referring to anyone. I just wanted to say that.

You'll be fine.....its not called royal **** you in the ass....lol (thumb) Ive actually heard good things about it from other auto enthusiasts, but not Miata guys I dont think. I did a search on Royal Purple on m.net and got no topic hits, nor saw anything negative off the bat. If it was bad for Miatas..you could be sure itd be posted on m.net (thumb)

I referred to a thread ***** as in a possible thread ***** that might give misleading information to a possible new owner looking for info. I didnt say any names.... (poke)

Vash-

It was obvious that it was towards me. Nutari mentions my name and there you have it. Pretty blatant. I may not have the best reputation around here or the best knowledge about a Miata, but I figured he'd want to check into it.

btw kristin, there is oil in the shifter turret thing. very little.. turkey baster couldnt even suck anything up, so i filled it halfway.

Dang, this is a pretty long thread. Anyways, sort of a new member. Heres my miata.

1992 Brilliant Black Miata, 70000 miles, and about to get a face lift in 1-2 months with about 10psi.

 

[Boston5761]

how much would you say a set of 06' miata wheels are worth.... i know some one who is selling a set with tires, only used for about 4k miles... for 400 bucks.

 

[jose cuervo]

I'd say thats a pretty damn good deal. Those are 17's right? If he was in my area i'd take em just to stick some slicks on them for the track

 

[Boston5761]
