Oil coolers
I've read from posts in this forum that the AT RX-8 only has one oil cooler whereas the MT has two. I just went through the specs at mazdausa and it says both MT and AT has dual oil coolers.

Oil Injection
Both MT and AT have only 1 oil cooler, except in North America where the MT gets 2 oil coolers but the AT still only has 1.
I belive that the 'empty' side in an AT has a transmission cooler, ???

Hey therm8.. can you take a pic of where the piece of plastic is? If that is possible.
But yeah.. no they're not 06 specs. They are 05 specs and it says 2 oil coolers standard on both AT and MT.

I have a 2005 Japanese model, only one oil cooler on the AT for 2005 here... The plastic cover on the other side has ridges in it to make it look like a oil cooler is there. For about $520 you can buy the additional oil cooler for the other side with the lines from Mazdaspeed and then have your dealer install it. I just ordered mine a few days ago since I read about all the AT's that died in AZ and TX last summer and I don't want to go threw the same thing when next summer rolls along here in Okinawa Japan.

in my home country. It was a nice guesture to greet me with a velocity red display inside the Frankfurt Airport.
I felt "home" by all means...

And we also have the 18" wheels and sport (322mm) front brakes standard.
