Be careful with that. The diff oil may have some things in it that are bad for the synchros in the MT.

I'm not sure how RP does their products, but I know that with RedLine, you can use the MT oil in the Diff, but not the other way around.

Try searching on synthetic gear oil (or something like that), there should be some older threads around with info about that.

swoope, it's Redline MT-90 for the trans and Redline 75w90 for the differential. Dont forget your RX8M1016 differential crush washers and RX8M1017 transmission crush washers. Those are Rosenthals part numbers

The Mazda specs call for:
trans GL4 or 5 (75w90) ---the Redline MT-90 is actually a 75w90 GL4
diff GL5 (90) ---the Redline 75w90 is a GL5

So, you could use the Redline 75w90 GL5 in either the trans or diff but you can't use the MT90 in the diff.

I had a nice chat with Dave at Redline before I did this back in January.

Swoope, I have all the bottles, tubes, sockets etc if you want to borrow them.
