I had the oil changed today in my 05 rx-8 and the guys at the garage said there was a lot of foam in the oil/engine. Is that normal? They recommended to get it changed again in 1000 miles. I hope everything is okay lol

 

normal

Thanks, i wont even bother with he ventilation kit if it doesnt do anything but not let me see the mily foam stuff lol.

 

nobody searches anymore

 

The foam in the oil is a very rare infection of the rotor apex seals, you need to get to your local dealership, they'll prescribe you some antibiotics which you'll need to add into your tank at every fill-up for 10 fill-ups. If after that, you're still getting the foam, then you'll have to take it in for surgery to swap the rotors for pistons.

get it fixed. take it to the dealer and be nice and they might just fix it for free as its a tsb..

 

nope motor gone....coolant seal has blown!!!!......

Now by searching u would have been able to tell if I was lying or not

 

Dude, that's disgusting. The next time you feel the need to talk about your fetish with your car, keep it to yourself....unless you bring pictures.

 

You've totally wasted our time and this forum's server space and bandwidth.

Before u make ur next stupid post. Please search the forum first, do it for everybody's sake.

 

Tell the guys at the garage that they are all idiots.

 

Whooosah...

 

As opposed to your post that fully enlightened the community with your ever-consistent advice to "search"... Thank you for wasting additional forum server space & bandwith with your repeated advice...


(and yeah. I wasted forum space too. I'm not gonna' lose any sleep over it, though. Maybe nycgps will, though. Here's to hopin'! )

 

He's just trying to get to 10,000 posts

Get the kit, it will save you a ton of frustration in the future when trying to check your oil. It only takes an hour at the shop and is covered under warranty.

I just got mine , they also replaced my cracked engine mount and replaced my heating controls under warranty.

 

Our car is at the shop because the anti freeze was mixing with the oil they haven't told me what is up.... we feel you LOL

 

Hold on, everyone.

The usual complaint is foam on the dipstick, not "a lot of foam in the oil/engine."

Michael - just what did the guys at the garage see? Was it foam on the dipstick, as described in the TSB? Or something bigger? Not that I'd know what to do if it was something bigger, but in that event it shouldn't be dismissed as a cosmetic issue.

D: COOLANT SEAL ALERT!

I guess a free new engine is better than paying for it.

 

^yes coolant seal seems to b gone...welcome to the new engine club!!!!

 

o.O How do I make sure I am not getting screwed? I mean the Mazda dealership is fixing the "problem" but I don't think I am getting a new engine...
