where can i get one? i check canadiantire today but they only carry motomaster brand..

 

Not available in Canada. You have to either mix them yourself or order directly from Japan. Alternatively check Canadian tire again but under NO circumstances USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION on this forum

 

i do use the SEARCH FUNCTION ( a lot of times)...found one thread..scarborough mazda selling it.. i think its the redline or amsoil but it's last year..

 

oooppps...sorry for the attchment....it's my tranny leaking...thats why i need to get the oil ASAP..

 

he he he...

And yes, CT and PartSource do stock them...

check scarboro mazda they have redline fluids. i just change mines last week

 

thanks for the info guys...i went to scarboro mazda this morning and they have it on stock..
the tech there recommend to use the MTL for the tranny but he can give me the MT-90 if i want to..so i decided to take the MTL..looks like i'm gonna dig up the threads of MTL vs. MT-90...
any suggestions / knowledge are highly appreciated...
btw...nice/friendly guys over there..

 

I have Royal Purple Max-Gear in my gearbox, seems fine to me. It's thicker than OEM or Redline so you have to give the synchro a little extra time to spin down. For the diff I've used Royal Purple and some random synthetic stuff from crappy tire. I don't think it makes much difference. The important thing is to flush the diff regularly since there are a lot of metal shavings after 30k.

 

i have'nt done the change oil today coz i do first my coils and i broke one of the bolts...and the rain is on n off..what a bad day..

 

MTL will work better on the street especiallyin the colder weather. If you take your car to the track the MT90 is a better lubricant. DO NOT USE THE SHOCKPROOF GEAR OIL IN A SYNCRO STYLE BOX! It tells you right on the label that it will cause the syncros to stick and thats very bad............ask me how I know!

 

Really? Huh.

We've used the MTL and lightweight shockproof in our race cars all year and have had no trouble at all.

 

thanks for the advice...i don't track my 8 so im gonna try the MTL...I do read your previous post on MTL vs MT-90 THREAD and im convinced..

 

you recommend both of them on the tranny?

 

Well I've personally never used the shockproof in the RX-8 trans.

But we have been using it all race season in our Hyundai Genesis Coupe race cars, and we use it in every 350Z trans we replace oil in, no problems so far?

 

We grenaded 3 stock RX7 n/a boxes using shockproof gear oil, then finally like an idiot one day I read the label. We use shockproof gear oil in the rear diff but again wouldnt recommend it for street use.
