What kind of oil does a NC MX-5 Miata use?
Oil – The factory calls for 5w20 oil and the engine takes 4.9 quarts when dry. You will need somewhat less than 4.9 quarts. A filter – I’m a fan of Purolator, Mobil1, and Wix. The parts store had none of these, so I’ve got a Bosch in the pic. A new crush washer. You need one for an M14 bolt. So 14.2mm inside diameter, 20mm outside diameter.

What do you need to replace O2 sensor on Miata?
Be sure to confirm the issue isn’t related to exhaust leaks, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, vacuum leaks, the MAF sensor, etc prior to replacing the O2 sensor. The only tools required for this job are a decently long socket extension, a 3/8″ socket wrench, and one of these O2 sensor sockets.
Where is the cam angle sensor on a Miata?
It connects to the wiring harness near the cam angle sensor on the back of the motor’s head. It has a little clip you push in, then pull it out. It can stick fairly tight if it has never been removed, but shouldn’t be a big deal. Once the wiring is out, you can feed it down to where the sensor itself is.
