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

If you never want to have rotor bearing problems,
please use Idemitsu rotory engine oil.

Trust Me. Race engine or daily driver? Does not matter.
5-20 Racing full synthetic, Will always work.
