A little help please!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was wondering of someone could tell me if there is a difference in the way the rotor seals received lube in the 2nd gen rx7 N/A compaired to rx8 Renesis?

The reason I ask is I have owned two 2nd gen 7's and both went well over 200K miles without any problems at all. Since I bought the 2004 RX8 ( all recalls have been taken care of) all you see on the web is how the seals do not get enough lube and will cause early life failure. I am not a rotary expert by any means but I have owned a few and I do understand the engine.

I use the car for work and I travel about 500 miles of highway travel every week. My baby currently has 22K on it and no trouble other that a leaking oil cooler that was fixed under warranty. I just keep wondering if there is something extra I should be doing to help the seal life like a high ratio premix?

I just cant seem to see why all the fuss now with the Renesis! Am I missing something?

Thanks
