Engine Oil - New Memo From Japan

Hi guys. I've seen several posts on this forum regarding this topic. However, would like to share something with you.

I juz bought my 6MT rx-8 from MM last week and recently received an SMS from the car dealer. She said that they received a new memo from Japan which says only to use Mineral Oil and not synthetic.

Personally, I know next to nothing about engine oil - juz thought of sharing this latest update with you guys.

Cheers!

Hahaha

When u go for ur next service at MM, ask for the official memo from Mazda Japan (2004) that say that u can use synthetic oil. Maybe 2006 RX8 use only mineral but tks for the info anyway. Its better for u to see the actual memo instead of hearing from the SE. Ask her to fax to u lor or show u next time u go down the showroom.

Cheers

Well, if the info that legendary receives is true, the memo is from Japan, not MM. But as with most things in this site, take it with a pinch of salt and verify it for yourself before you accept it as absolute truth.

Hahaha. Noted. Will ask for the memo when I go for the 5k servicing and check with the mechanic.

I dont think she would say something like that unless its true (she actually sent me an SMS last week to stress the point). Anyway, from what I've read on this forum, synthetic works fine. Juz thought that you might want to know this latest "development".

Actually, i don't think its too far fetch. I know a friend's dad who married his (BMW) car sales person. At his age, i don't think it was the size nor how well he can use the shifter that was important to her.

Maybe Legendary is living up to his nic? He can pull them from all sorts of angle.

He's just trying to be nice and pass along some info he got.

EBS and sqflyer has already made a good (and objective) point about verifying the information before releasing it.

So what's with the abuse from everyone else?

No worries, I can take a joke!

The sales exec you are all so excited about is closer to a mother hen than a "chick". My god.....

Have a nice weekend!

Are you serious? What we said was abusive?

FYI: Definition of abuse:
  1. To use wrongly or improperly; misuse: abuse alcohol; abuse a privilege.
  2. To hurt or injure by maltreatment; ill-use.
  3. To force sexual activity on; rape or molest.
  4. To assail with contemptuous, coarse, or insulting words; revile.
  5. Obsolete. To deceive or trick.
Aiyoh... So, I hardly think we have done any of the above... unless its a reflection of your own sensitivity? Besides, it was all in juvenile jest.
A nic like Legendary? If anything we were very kind and complimentary towards him.

Mugo: THose of us who added in the salt and vinegar have no intention to mock or displease anyone. Of course we are grateful for Legendary's input, no malice intended. As the usual case for any forum, individuals who pen or rather type FIRST thoughts.. so the structuring of sentence might seem provocative in a certain way, but im very sure all participants in this forum arent out to #$%^*(*(^^& others...

Rei: I think u watch too much MILF MILF movies... hahahaha.. then again.. its individual's liking *wink* *wink*

INXS: "Salt and vinegar"... I think it was more sugar and spice. Saying that legendary was pulling some chick ain't exactly an insult? (He may take offence if he was gay, (which we assume he wasn't) or he is a catholic priest... then younger boys would be their preference.... joke lah! )

We were implying that he was a Legendary Stud! Abusive? Thats insulting... something you use in relation to cases involving maids, wifes animals or girl/boyfriends. I don't think we were anywhere near that level!!

If anything we were sucking up (in a non-physical way... in case you think we are "gaying" up) to him. I guess this explains why in Singapore we only talk about safe topics... food and more food.. since anything else, may "insult" people! Die like that!
