New to RX8

i am from pakistan and recently buyed a japnese imported 2005 mode rx8. There are no rx8 dealers here, hell there are about 20 rx8 in the whole country.


So what are your maintenance suggestions. What should i change and/or replace. What should i monitor regularly. I usually keep my cars very good but i know nothing about the rx9's so any help from you guys shall be really appreciated.

I hear these cars are only good for street racing with BMWs.

Read the owner's manual.

i heard the mercedes benz AMGs are pretty slow sedans.

seriously, only advice i have for you is to use 10w-30 oil, preferably castrol gtx or a synthetic of your choice, for example, royal purple. and make sure to keep the revs high, redlining is good for the car.

Scroll to the top of this forum. There's a sub-forum called "The RX-8 FAQ."

Go to the site's home page. Look for the forum "The tech garage." Good reading there. Also the sub-forum "The Do it Yourself Forum" if you're going to do things yourself.

Do you have an owner's manual? Follow the maintenance schedule in that, but (as you with for any car) change oil more often than they recommend. There really isn't much special about routine maintenance.

That's pretty much why I was rude. He just flat out refused to search, and just demanded a link. To me, he doesn't deserve our help, unless he can't read English well, and doesn't know what "search" means. But I doubt that's even close to being the case......

No way. That's a total coincidence, and he's really just genuinely asking for help!
