Drive the crap out of it. I'm serious Redlines are good for this car to keep the carbon away. Also read up on the oil threads for maximum protection.

The more you read in this forum the better your experience with the your 8 will be. Redline daily, premix, keep the engine cool and warm up before using.

Mazda did not set up the oiling system quite right and adding a premix will add life to your ride i drive 8 hour days with my rx8 and its great
The search button can answer a most of your questions.

aside from the specail editions (shinka, 40th ann) yes. On the 09's, Im not sure if the Grand Touring or the R3 is the highest.
