Royal Purple Synthetic Engine oil & ATF
 
Hi,

My friend actually recommended me to use Royal Purple(RP) Synthetic engine oil (which is suitable for rotary). I did check on the (RP)website and it says it will improve FC. What do you guys think? Anyone use RP before?

Anyone use the Royal Purple (ATF)?

Thanks

he says suitable... but does the oil and bottle states its suitable????

many workshops oso say mobil 1, castrol RS are the best oil for any car, including the rx8..... go for the trial n tested.... if not, u will end up overhauling ur engine in abt 3 yrs time....

Hi Ivan,
I did visit the website and it says that Royal purple is certified to be used in rotary engine.

its not my car, my car compression is healthy......

read up on the wrong usage of oil for rotary engine. The search button is ur good fren. Any other engines, any oil oso can use, but not rotary engine.

I read about this oil and recall. But how come Spore not affected? I have also read that alot of people are using synthetics and others are opposed to it.
