Synthetics for Miata's

[Welacey]

Looking for all you girly car drivers input on sythetics for the drivetrain (tranny and rear). Currently running Redline in tranny and who knows what in the fuji rear end. Redline makes 2 types for lsd rears, which is best for 03 fuji 4:30 lsd? Also if you use other brands, please chime in and explain why you like that one best. This ought to be interesting. Thanks, wally.

John, Darryl, Lyle, Mark, any knowledge?

Not me I use Dino stuff when possible. OS Giken 80W-250 in the rear but only because I was warned to.

[Welacey]

Never even heard of that. What type of rear end are you running?

[engled]

OS Giken. http://www.osgiken.net/products/superlock.html

Have been reading all that i can get ahold of on diffs and fluids. Redline affiliate says Mt-90 for the Tochigi Fuji Super Lsd. GKN now owns and builds this diff. Does Giken have anything to do with GKN since the name is so similar?

Not that I'm aware of.

Guess none of the miata drivers in our club use synthetics.

I'm too cheap. The money is better spent elsewhere IMHO.

I do, I just don't see the point of chasing down the more exotic brands. Mobil1 is my tranny. I honestly can't remember what I put in the diff.
