Pure 1 oil filter with Valvoline VR1 Racing oil 20w50 (to be changed out for 10w30 of the same kind for the winter).

Redline MTL for the tranny.

Mazda filter - I've read nothing but good things about them.
Neo in the tranny as soon as I can find where to get it - I've heard it's better than the Redline stuff

Mazda filter and Mobil1 in the trans. I've heard nothing but good things about Redline and the others. I may move to Royal Purple in the trans.
