Tyr this link for electronic manual. http://www.mx5forum.co.nz/viewtopic.php?t=8987 I always use Magnatec oil in all my vehicles every oil change. I have never touched the gearbox oil. I just wash my vinyl top when I wash my car, still looks like new and I've owned it for 5 1/2 years. Cheers Stevo :)

I would recommend using a water based dressing for the soft top car. I use my own business stuff, Meguiars HyperDressing. This is proffessional stuff so not sure of the retail version.
