I definately need an oil change, Roy. Whenever's good for you we can do yours, but I need mine done in the next 100 miles or so.


You busy this afternoon?

 

[Roywhitep5]

can we do the oil change on the 23rd?

 

[KpaBap]

hey I can use some fresh oil too, I'm not due for another 5-600 miles but with they way I drive, there's never too soon

i think that type of wing only looks good on the focus rally car

 

[Natey]

We can do yours on the 23rd, but I may do mine a little sooner. i've also been thinking about putting some redline into my tranny ever since I hit 30k.

Go for the redline Natey, makes a huge difference with the short shifter. You'll love it.

 

[melicha8]

Can you say a tasty day off?

I agree. I'm using a 50-50 mix of Redline Heavy Shockproof and Redline MTL, and the angry, 2nd gear synchro likes it much better.

It does get a little notchy on cold mornings (I'm on the road at 0430hrs), but it's gone when things get heated up.

Winchester Auto has Redline stocked.

 

[KpaBap]

Miataforum people have been complaining that Redline MTL is great for a month or two and then makes things crunchy and notchy. People put ATF in for that reason. Might wanna mosey over there and see what they have to say.

maybe Mt-90

 

[MinnowGT]

I'm using amsoil 75w140 synthetic gear oil and seem to have no problems.
I got lots of quarts as I use it in my jeep too for the diffs. Works great.

 

[Natey]

hmmm. Amsoil might be a good call, I've also been reading good things about Royal Purple 75W90 over at the RX-7 club.

 

[KpaBap]

yeah I thought 75w-90 is what you want, isn't 140 a little too thick? How are cold shifts?

 

[Roywhitep5]

i wanna see the fc!!!!

 

[MinnowGT]

cold shifts are fine. 75w140 -> flows like 75 in cold - protects upto 140

I think the people with cold shift problems were using 90w140 - that's way too thick.

but you'd be good with the purple 75w90.
