I put mobil one in my tranny instead of the redline because of that statement. Any one have any comments on this?
Which redline fluid is this? For the 7, I use MTL or MT-90 in the trans and 75W90 gear oil in the diff. I use shockproof light in my other cars trans. I don't remember seeing this.

I dont like fram as a general rule. I work at Advance and i never reccomend anything other than puralator for both air, fuel, and oil filters.

That's what pisses me off about Autozone. They have Fram and Bosch but no Purolator. I use Mazda parts but when I can't I'll use Purolator.

on the oil filter and other filters NEVER use FRAM... look into getting a K&N for the air box. make sure you change the oil every 3000 mi or less. the engine is good for alot of mi. if you take care of it. Look for a local rx7 car club they are one if the best recources and they love to help Newbies.
