Hi guys
so I have a 2012 Mazda speed three. Just replaced the transmission fluid with the 75w-90 two days ago.
for about 5 minutes when the engine is cold it is difficult to shift, it does not grind unless forced but it can be a pain to get into 2nd.
from what I have read it seems to be because the oil is heavier then the oem oil and needs to warm up in cold weather like the red line mt90.
Is this normal for these types of gear oils? supposedly it is for the redline
Does anyone else have to deal with this with RP, or respond? Is your tranny still ok
