False!!!!!

I think he ment to CHECK his oil every 2 full tanks.
Sounds like a missunderstanding.

False. Usually change oil every servicing which is 5000km.

True only if you drive like your life depended on it otherwise 5000km seems about right.

I think i am am crazy to change my oil when it reaches the low oil mark but every 2 full tank is extreme.

The only other person i know who will do that drives a ferrari and he does not drives it often. And its because he does not drive the car much at all; so full tanks are months in between.

You should never listen to a fella who didnt actually driven an RX8, or says the car belongs to his uncle, nanny or his fren's uncle....
