I bought the Royal Purpel Tranny fluid and have it in the car but the car isn't moving yet so I can't give you my thoughts on it yet. I hope it works ok cause I just took out Mobil 1 synthetic out cause it sucks. All my manuals say you can use GL-5 oil but from people I've talked to said the G5M-R tranny doesn't like it. If this stuff doesn't work I'm gonna use Redline cause I know its good stuff.

If you can get gl-5 without sulfer, otherwise need Gl-4

I use Redline MTL in my car. Actually, I had it in my old MX-3 too. Really helps smooth out the shifting. Tends to really shine when the transmission is warm, but that could be true of all transmission fluids.
