Castrol seems quite popular here. I just use it cause its all I can find in the big 5 quart bottles so I can keep a nice stash in the trunk for those days I am running a little low.

Still have whatever the factory uses in the transmission and rear end.

+1, Royal Purple tranny fluid and Mobil1 75W90 diff fluid. Tried Redline MTF and NEVER again. Made the tranny shift very chunky and grind so I immediately changed it to RP, no problems since.

Castrol Synthetic 5w30
Note- By the way, that is what a number of Mazda dealers in Japan use and also Castrol semi-synthetic. Used Royal Purple and Pennzoil previously...

I just did my first oil change on the Car. ('05 W/ 8,500 miles on it) ((I've owned it since 7,500))

I chose Castrol syntec 5w20.... I was just going to use the GTX 5w20 ... but thought an extra buck a quart is worth whatever extra protection it gives.

I'll do the tranny & diff. soon...... I think I'll go redline in those because I've been hearing about their stuff for longer than this royal purple stuff.

Happy rotoring ! - Chris
