Be sure to keep records of your oil changes, better yet can you get them from the last owner?

i just recently bought the car all i have is the last oil change record and two records of when my engine flooded and got everything replaced basically when i owned the car i have all the recent records which is like 2 oil changes and and basic maintenence done like twice and i cannot get the records from the previous owner is that going to be a problem??
it's funny how mazda never revealed the official part list for this warranty, it says but yet they look for any excuse to deny engine replacement to those RX8 owners
Rotary Engine Core
Rotary Housing and Internal Parts
Internal Seals and Gaskets
That's about it !!!

I noticed a nice difference in mine.
I now have an RX8 Body with 85,000 on it and an engine with about 12,000.
CHeck my earlier posts in this thread. I scanned the work orders into the thread.
To date... nearly $12k worth of warranty work done.

If an 8 dies and is just out of warranty or Mazda refuses to cover the rotary core for some BS reason, what is the cost for a new engine? I remember reading $6k somewhere. Is that for a new engine plus labor for installation, and new hoses, gaskets, etc.? What's the out of pocket cost for getting a good reman (to spec) installed including labor and needed parts?

My guess would be that Mazda will void your warranty if you tell them you use diesel oil as it is specifically engineered for diesel engines. Just like they void warranty's for full synthetic oil, cold air intakes, exhausts and so on. Whether or not you can convince them to perform the warranty work is another matter.
As for diesel, I just looked at the pdf for Mobil1 Turbo Diesel full syn 0W-40. It states that it is "recommended for all types of modern vehicles". It meets or exceeds API CF, ACEA A3/B3 and A3/B4. The only warnings it includes is that it doesn't recommend it for 2-stroke or aviation engines. Any of the GA diesel oil users have more information?
