Owen_fan 2nd Gear July 21, 2004 Share July 21, 2004 Hi all Mazda owner, may I know what type of syn oil are you using for your 323? If I wanted to change my gear oil (maunal car)as well, what grade & band should I use? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear July 21, 2004 Share July 21, 2004 (edited) Check with your owners manual. Usually it is 80W90 or 75W90. Syn gear oil is very expensive. Better stick to dino gear oil. Some people say, syn gear oil is smoother. YMMV. Edited July 21, 2004 by Genie47 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But every time, they just let me hold on to the phone for so long & end up the line cut off Don't understand why can't they just tell me can or cannot, even email them oso not reply after 1 week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Neutral Newbie July 22, 2004 Share July 22, 2004 Can lah .... when you going ... I also need to drop by there soon for some major service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear July 22, 2004 Share July 22, 2004 The grade damn funny here. Most common is 75W90 in the workshops and stores. In MY, most common is 80W90. The difference? None! 75W90 is 80W90! Dunno why they call it 75W90 here because the official grade is 80W90. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
