What's a good transmission oil to use? Its a auto 1999 Lx
your help would be greatly appreciated.

 

is it a manual or automatic? do you drive it hard?

 

its an auto..see in his post... ..use Royal Purple Synthetic

 

oops, yeah I like RP but haven't used their tranny fluids.

 

thanks guys

 

I've also heard Red Line has good transmission fluids, if you can't get a hold of Royal Purple. I use Red Line MT-90 in my gearbox (manual) and it's great.

 

Yes Red Line is good stuff too, and not quite as expensive as RP....Royal Purple is like $9.99 a quart!!

 

thanks I got of royal purple for $7.46 a quart from midway auto supply also got free shipping with UPS. I got 8 quarts hope thats the right amount need. mazda book says 1999 and later 7.6 quarts. thank again guys.

 

You sure 8 quarts? I know it's for an auto and all, but my manual only takes 2.83 quarts...

 

does anyone know how much fluid for auto 1999 Lx transmission?

 

no way it takes 8qts....huge GMC turbo diesels only take 4qts.

Call your local Express Oil change and ask them how many quarts to fill it up. They have the charts there to tell them.
