Recently picked up a super low miles (37k) series 2 RX8. Bought the PO out of a loan he could no longer afford and got the car for about half its actual value. I own it outright. This is my first rotary car. The 2009+ rx8s are called the series 2 cars (series 1 being 2004 to 2008) because they have the 4 port engine, not the 3 port engine. Unlike the series 1 cars, a well maintained series 2 car will do 120k before a rebuild.
Some background on the car:
2010 RX8 sport series 2 4 port Renesis
BHR ignition coil upgrade
Racing beat catback exhaust with Agency Power cat delete pipe
K&N typhoon V2 intake
Stance XR1 coilovers with swift spring upgrade
I premix fuel with .5oz 2 cycle engine oil per gallon at each fillup
Stock OMP
What oil should I run in this car? People in the community say everything from 5w20 conventional, to 15w40 conventional, to all kinds of synthetics. Some people claim conventional oil is required and synthetic will ruin the engine, and some claim synthetic is 100% safe.
Any rotary guys/ladies here? What say you?
