Jax area oil change
Hey Jax owners, new '04 RX8 owner here.
I've had my ride for a few months now, and it's time for the 41K oil change. Where do you recommend - or not recommend - I get an oil change, and what oil do you find works best here in the hot south? Right now it has a synthetic blend 5W/30 from the previous owner.

Change it yourself. That's the best way.

I had it changed at Tire Kingdom by this forum's very own Adam, aka Risky Business. Many thanks for looking out for me, Adam!

The one in Ponte Vedra, just south of Palm Valley Rd. on A1A. It's behind Bogey's sports bar.

yeah, that does sound cool. I wouldn't mind taking my 8 to a local shop for an oil change if I knew one of the guys that worked there, or we had something in common.

No harm, no foul. I'm actually jealous now!
