My fiance and I recently bought a 2006 Miata as she could not handle not having one of her own, when I was on land and driving the 2000.
The car now has 75 miles on it, still on the factory 5W20 fill. From what I understand this engine needs no break-in, so my plan is to do an AutoRx application now, and do the first oil change 1500 miles later.
I plan to then put a 5W30 dino in for the rinse phase. At that point, I plan on switching over to Mobil 1 5W30 or, if I can find it, GC 0W30, and doing 7500 mile intervals, to be verified by UOA, and extended if UOAs show it to be ok.
I was also planning on doing an AutoRx application to the power steering, 6 speed manual transmission, and Torsen equipped diff, then switching those over to Specialty Formulations products.
I figure this way, I'll get all of the manufacturing trash out, and get good fluids in, right off the bat.
I'm also going to put RMI-25 in the cooling system.
