Trans oil

98 LX 5-speed 110,000 miles. want to replace trans oil w/ Mobil-! 75-90, rated GL-4/5 as shown in owner manual. Any reason NOT to?

cost....mobil1 is good stuff but if you're going to spend that much money you should look into a nice "Redline" or "royal purple" gear oil. I like them a lot better.

Royal Purple or Neo are my choices...a lot of guys on the miata board swear by GM Syncromesh, too.
