Redline LightWeight ShockProof Gear Oil
I used to run the heavyweight, but my engine guy who also used to crew chief for an MX5 cup team suggested the lightweight was enough and that I would have less parasitic loss.
If you run a clutch type diff, all bets are off.

+1 on LWS. I've been running it for 2-3 years now in the tranny and rear diff. Even if you drain it, it leaves a protective layer of smurf blood.

Goddamn it! I hate you! You always beat me to smart *** comments. I'm used to being the only smart *** on other forums. Still not used to you being superior on this forum. Of course I'm only late by about a day.
I've been running Royal Purple for over a year and haven't noticed anything (good or bad). So I guess that is good?
