hey guys,
what oil shud i use for my tx3 gb?

 

[ondgennis]

for my lantis 1.8 manual gearbox, i only use the normal kind from the workshop (the one with big tong) and the brand is depend to which shop u go. what i practice is every 10k km then i change the gear oil already.
before this i was stick to castrol gtx, but somehow due to compact engine bay at mazda lantis. some workshop facing difiiculty to change the gear oil because some of them not able to take out the speed sensor at the gb to fill the gear oil. :( so now i only stick to what they have in the workshop because they can pump in the gb oil through the nut below the gb.

For a small cc (ie kelisa & Myvi) I just used 5or10W30 mineral base cheap & good.

For the 2000 cc turbo cars I hv used 15w40 (ie. Delo400) to 15w50 (ie. motul 6100). no full-syn for me too exp boh $$$.

Some thing to noted is our weather is damn HOT. I will change my oil more reather to keep them longer time in the engine, also perfer to hv flash oil the engine all the time.
