FD Fluids

Hey guys,

I have a couple questions. I've searched around on the other forums and keep getting mixed answers on what fluids I should use in my FD here in Colorado.

What motor oil are you guys running? 20w50?

What type of anti-freeze and what mixture? 60/40? 50/50?

I have the service manual and can use what that recommends, but it seems like through the years people have found out what works better.

Just looking to see what you guys are using for the local area.

Thanks!

- Geoff

I haven't run a FD, but my first gen and second gen RX-7s all had 20w-50 oil and 50/50 coolant. Its my understanding that FDs were the same, but RX-8s changed to a 0w-20 or something.

I run 10w30 in my first gen. factory recommended oil.

I usually stick with what the factory recommends in most my cars and I make sure that the oil gets changed right at 3k.

I use 10w30 as well, and 50/50 coolant/water.
