ZoomZoomH 02-07-2006, 11:17 AM check your oil filler cap, i think it says GF-3 SL 5W-20.... Rotary78 02-07-2006, 12:12 PM yeah its 5W-20, preferably Non-Synthetic..... the car drinks oil like a mother, so you have to be careful which blend to use. DO NOT USE MOBIL 1.... dettori 02-07-2006, 12:34 PM So Non-Synthetic oil is better oil for the engine.ELF is ok?

ZoomZoomH 02-07-2006, 01:39 PM do you have your RX-8's owner's manual, it should specify what oil grade to use in your region... dettori 02-07-2006, 01:49 PM ok thnx Niaz 02-07-2006, 03:34 PM yeah its 5W-20, preferably Non-Synthetic..... the car drinks oil like a mother, so you have to be careful which blend to use. DO NOT USE MOBIL 1.... how abt using 15w 50 synthetic oil Tastic 02-08-2006, 01:30 AM I just did my first oil change on the RX-8 2 days ago to royal purple 5w20 (synthetic). I've never experienced such a difference after an oil change. The engine revs up smoother in a very perceptible way. mmats69 02-08-2006, 02:08 AM yeah its 5W-20, preferably Non-Synthetic..... the car drinks oil like a mother, so you have to be careful which blend to use.

I've never experienced such a difference after an oil change. The engine revs up smoother in a very perceptible way. I was told NOT to use synthetic oil. ZoomZoomH 02-09-2006, 10:09 AM everyone here that has question regarding synthetic oil, search 'synthetic oil' and messages posted by 'rotarygod' on this forum, read what he wrote, and MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION on what to use, ok? |
