Transmission Oil for the 8 in Toronto
Hi Guys,
I did a transmission oil change about 10,000 k ago with Castrol 75w90 GL-5 as it was all i could find. I've noticed that its getting a little tough to get into gear sometimes and more scary than that it grinds every time i shift from 3rd to 4th at any RPM above 4500.
I'm hoping that using a RED LINE GL-4 Oil will help. Problem is I can't find it anywhere near me. (Oakville / Mississauga / Toronto)
Any Suggestions?
Thanks.

A grind on shifting usually indicates that the syncro's are worn, and changing gear oil may lessen it to a degree but wont fix the problem. You can try going to Redline MTL which is a lighter oil but in the long run that wont fix it.

They sell the MT-90 / MTL that you're looking for, 2 quarts should do it.
(1.75L, 1.85 US qt according to the manual I have)

Checking with a service manual it says GL-4 or GL-5 but I've read on the forums here that GL-5 isn't the greatest. I'll call up Scarborough Mazda soon.. Thanks
