Maintenance Help?

[jsceen]

Hey all,
Ok a little background first. I just bought a 2002 miata LS with only 13K miles. I bought it from the original retired owner who worked for Mazda corporate until 2002 and they gave it to him as a gift. This car was garage kept with a cover. The car is in PRISTINE condition. I had a 96 M-Edition for 3 years and I now have a Miata, again!

The seats look like new and I want to keep it like that. I unfortunatley do not have a garage and it will be used as a daily driver. What should I do for leather seat care? Everything I read here is for restoration or to fix whats gone bad but I do not see what to use to keep them in good shape.

Also, I would like to know how often or when should I change the transmission and differential fluids. I have read how everyone it seems prefers another brand of fluids but I have not read when they should be changed. It seems like the transmission is slipping a bit when I let out the clutch so that is why I ask.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jsceen in Miami

Bought a used 2006 Red MX-5 in perfect condition a month ago. My first convertible. Having lots of fun driving the 6 speed! Just started noticing the metal panel behind seats in trunk rattles. Looking for some easy fixes.

tighten it down? run some silicone around the edges.
