[@bobbyross2023]

What engine oil weight and brand would you recommend for a track built N/A Miata? Do zinc addictive and higher oil weight reduce engine wear at high rpm & high temp?

[@aracing]

On a fresh motor I use Mobil 1 10-40 Im not a engineer so I dont know about any zinc or anything.

[@bobbyross2023]

@@aracing Thanks, I use 10w40 as well

[@cr250rdr]

okay, but HOW do you fill the transmission with limited space and from the side? Turkey baster?

[@aracing]

You can buy an inexpensive pump from the parts store. I once didn’t have one and used a long fuel line routed it from under the hood to the trans and poured it in. Thanks for the question and for watching

[@robertmcallister50]

Hey Al what weight of oil do you use in the race cars?

[@thomashimes2413]

Do you know what size crush washer is used for the transmission drain bolt. I’m seeing a lot of different answers on the forums.

[@aracing]

I will need to look

[@shopyard87]

Why not on the automatic?

[@aracing]

well I dont own any i guess.

[@brandonjan_]

do we need to change the filter for the tranny fluid as well?

[@aracing]

Not in the manuals only in the auto trans

[@brandonjan_]

@@aracing sweet thanks again al you rock brother

[@4cyl]

careful not stripping that plug wont be fun

[@aracing]

Yeah dang kids are really good at that. Make sure you use a 6 point and not a 12 point. I think with that you will be just fine. Thanks for taking the time to comment and watch.
