Car wash?

It takes 9 qts. of Mobil 1. Yes, I could have done it much cheaper myself.

The upside is that maint. intervals were 20K miles, I just did it once a year to err on the side of conservatism.

NC refers to the generation of Miata. NA is 1st gen, NB is 2nd gen, NC is 3rd gen.

Just noticed I missed Troy's first question. I traded my CS for an '08 M3 sedan in March, the extra seats come in handy now that I have a kid. Got the Miata 2 wks later.

Why is there 9 qts of motor oil? That motor is not air cooled which would def. need an oil cooler. Prolly has an oil cooler, but in order to get all that oil up to the front you need 9qts.
