help with oil choice
hi guys just got an rx8 and was wondering what oil would you use in hot climates
as i live in malta were temp reaches up to 40`c in summer . and if syntetic or mineral thanks |
20w50 Synthetic.
or just run straight SAE 40 or 50 grade. |
sae? Sorry still have to get used to the terminolgy
cheers |
How can we know what is good for temperatures like Jamaica, the manual preaches non-synthetic and 5w20.....
What to do, What to do!!! |
Just go to the Mazda dealer if Ur not sure.
I got an RX-8 from the US and they use 5w20 - in Poland we don't have such oil so i have to buy 5w30 (dixelia or something like this) from the Mazda dealer. I suggest U do the same. |
cheers guys 5w-30 it is!!
|
I was talking to some people and asia and most of them use 10W30.
Ive been using Castrol Non Synthethic 10W30 and engine runs smooth |
5w 30 , 10w30 will be fine but latest thinking is that thicker is better
I would go for 10w40 synthetic in your climate |
oil question
If you never want to have rotor bearing problems,
please use Idemitsu rotory engine oil. http://www.idemitsu-usa.com/ Trust Me. Race engine or daily driver? Does not matter. 5-20 Racing full synthetic, Will always work. Lee |
hey m8 i am from malta too do you still own your rx8 ?
|
I'm in the u.s the idemitsu website only has 10w 30 or 20w 50... can I use either of those?
