Better oil??

Use whatever ye want it won't make much difference in the long run and someone will disagree no matter what you use. Just be sure to have the dealer do it or keep all receipts and dont use synthetic if you plan to keep your warranty in tact. Also change more often than usual.

Please research and come to your own determination. There are endless threads relating to this topic. I am sick and tired of reading oil threads. If your new to a subject put a little effort forth and do some research. WTF!

Read the oil pressure mod thread before using heavier oil. This post in particular https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...1&postcount=92
Nothing beats perspective.
Make sure you use quality oil. My fav is Castrol GTX

You can overfill or underfill 5w20 just as easily as 20w50, or anything in between.
If I take your post in a different context, then I would expect that your oil light comes on every few days, in which case you either have a broken oil control ring and are burning WAY too much oil, or you have an oil leak, or you keep adding just barely enough oil to get the light off.
When the oil light comes on, it's already critically low, and your engine isn't getting enough oil. It needs to stay at the 1/2 mark or higher (though not above "full")
Are you topping off to the full line on the dipstick?
