Update on mine. Still original engine. 128,000 KM (80,000 Miles). Still pulls and drives amazing even though I was told one rotor had lowish compression. I don't care though, I love this car too much. I put in $2,000 worth of body work last year to get rid of rust on the wheel wells (was bubbling and looked bad). I already decided I will get a new engine when this one goes because the body is in great shape and really its cheaper than getting something similar. Oh and what other car like this has actual back seat doors?

Oh I did forget to mention that this car is no longer my daily driver like it once was for me. I have a Mazda 6 now that I drive mostly, so the RX8 is really only a weekend car now.

Not the highest I'm sure but still aging beautifully, just rolled over 180,000km. Original engine, never premixed.

How long have you had it and what oil and weight do you use?
