List your favorite engine fluids!

kepani · 05-12-2006, 07:31 PM

I was wondering what many of you use for your miatas!

Engine Oil
Transmission Oil
Differential Oil
Shifter Turret Oil

Just trying to get a feel for the norm for our cars.

Dino Juice in the engine - usually catrol gtx
Mobil 1 in the tranny, diff and turret
Regular green antifreeze in the engine/no water wetter or other additives
Synthetic brake fluid for the brakes and clutch
Helium in the tires

Take Care,
Dave

i'm using the amsoil series 1500 (i think) 20w-50 full on synthetic race oil. this is seriously the best oil ever. i've tried most other synthetic oils, and this has out performed them all.

in the tranny i'm using redline 75-140, its pretty thick, making shifting somewhat tough, but it protects like no other. same stuff is in my diff.

for my radiator, i use a 70/30 water to antifreeze ratio, because water is better at cooling the engine. i also put in redline's water wetter. you'll notice it makes a huge difference!
