Few questions
(im a mx5 noob)

Im gonna service my car

• It's still WINTER nearly spring and is still quite cold in Sydney - Semi Synthetic 10-30W
• Do oil filters make a big difference i always just buy the first thing i see that fits
• What kind of GEAR BOX OIL should i use? (6sp)
• What kind of DIFFERENTIAL OIL should i use?

Last service was early February

• 10-30w Castrol - Semi Synthetic
• BOSCH Iridium (4 headed) spark plugs
• Oil filter
• Air Intake (CAI added a few weeks ago)

There have been numerous threads about which oil's people are using:
6Speed Gearbox Oil
Diff Oil
A list on what others are using is HERE
And another one on Oils... engine, gearbox and LSD.. HERE and Engine oil type HERE
If you are still undecided, need more info or totally confused, try the search function!

For filters, can't go wrong with the common name brands and price difference is minimal.

refer your owners manual.

owners manual is pointless after 100,000ks and it doesnt exactly show a good variety i go by customer reviews..

If anyone is curious as to what i went with.. here
i took a pic


yes i bought redline water wetter too .. thought id give it a shot in the mx

by the way thanks
