Buying rx-8, what to know

Hi



I am going to buy a rx-8 and I was wondering what do I need to know. I heard that the models after 2005 are better to buy. Because Mazda fixed some of the issues. And that I don’t need to start it at 3000 rpm for 10-15 seconds. But I still have to change oil often. What kind of oil does rx-8 need and how often do I need to change oil. Is there something I really need to know about the rx-8? My brother is a car mechanic, so fixing the car will be no problem for me. And is there a big difference between the high power and the standard?
