Actually there is a good thread on engine oil here:

As for the tranny, go with Redline.

Wow, seems everyone is running 20-50w. How does everyone feel about running synthetic 20-50w? And why such a heavy weight on a car that is specified by Mazda to run 5-30w from the factory?

Thanks
Chuck

I love the 20w50 in the heat, deals with it a lot better. Winter 10w30 feels normal. Diff and tranny are 70w90 gear oil if I am not mistaken.
