Jokes aside, the Miata provides one of the most incredible handling platforms alongside one of the most affordable price-points, which understandably makes it appealing to the masses.Īfter its initial unveiling at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, it was a complete game-changer in the two-seater roadster line-up, and with a showroom price of just $14,000, they were pretty damn hard to resist.īut, let’s be honest, although the Miata has insane handling capabilities. Although it may get dismissed as a ‘hairdresser’s car’, an engine swap provides the perfect chance to leave the haters in your dust (or smoke) on both the twisties and the straights as you comb your way to victory. It’s easy to see why so many favor the Miata.

Who is Jim Blanton? Seems like a well known mechanically inclined guy in the BMW world. :rolleyes:ĮDIT: the last post in this thread talks about Jim Blanton using Red Line D4 ATF for the tranny and Red Line 75W90 for the diff in ALL YEARS of BMW. Call me conservative or frugal but not cheap.
I'm honestly just thinking of going with conventional or even high mileage tranny/diff oil rather than spending more for the Red Line stuff. Just oil for daily use BUT if the Red Line and/or Swepco stuff is worth it then i guess why not? So with that said what are your suggestions, recommendations, advice, and experiences? I don't need high performance expensive brand name oil. Just daily driving and occasional spirited driving. i don't race/track any of my cars and don't plan on to. Can i just go with a conventional brand name 75W90? i see a lot of people recommending Red Line 75W90. What's the difference between the two? Red Line is synthetic and Swepco is more thicker oil? Can i just go with a conventional ATF or even a high mileage ATF for the tranny? i noticed Pelican sells both Red Line D4 ATF and Swepco 201 but Pelican recommends Swepco 201. when they say "Brand name hypoid gear oil" do they mean Valvoline, Castrol, Lucas, Mobil, Red Line, and/or Swepco?! :confused: why ATF and not MTF? I found that rather weird and opposite.
#Redline gearbox oil for 1995 miata manual
I know the owners manual says to use "ATF" for the tranny and "Brand name hypoid gear oil" for the diff. I have a manual 97 318ti with 122k miles which i daily now instead of my manual 96 2dr RAV4. I've changed the tranny and diff oil on both my 91 Miata and 96 RAV4 with just regular conventional Valvoline manual transmission/gear oil from Autozone and both have been running fine for 2 yrs now. I know this has been discussed all over this forum as well as Pelican and but THIS is for my own purposes of knowing because this is such a widely discussed and a little confusing topic.
