Hi all.

Just bought a Yr'03 RX-8 4 Speed Auto.

Would like to know more about this Car and how do i go on Maintaining it? What type of Engine Oil shall i change it to? Pump RON 98 Petrol? Where can i change the Drive Shaft? When parking & Turning the steering, i can hear some "Krook Krook" Noise.

Whenever after i parked my car in a underground carpark, I noticed that, my car interior is so warm after i return to the car after 1 hour. Is there something wrong? The whole CEntre Console is warm.

Where can i do servicing & do some tuning to the car?

Sorry to ask so many questions. Noob here.

hope to see some replies.

Cheers~ :wiggle:

if u r toking abt any brands of oil off the shelf, then use only mineral oil... any brands will do.

if fully synthetic, use only synthetic oil meant for ROTARY enginel. So long as the oil states that it is for rotary engine, you shld be safe.... there are many threads on the oil to be used. Do a search.

They are some who have been using mobil 1 fully synthetic oil or castrol or "watsoever branded" oil. I can wish wish them good luck and get ready to change an engine and other related parts soon.
