New RX8 Owner
 

Hey guys i just purchased a 2006 RX8 as my first car. I know the engine in it is completely different than normal ones so i was wondering if anyone can shine some light on me towards what exactly I have to do to not only get the most out of the car but also to make sure i dont screw it up. Thank guys

Check the engine oil level at least once a week.

oil change every 3k miles, spark plug and coil change every 30k, and differential and transmission fluid change every 30k

is this necessary?:uhh:

Not really, but it really really does help, and it's cheap and easy to do. Don't fall for the $300-$600 flush bill from a dealer. Just get the fluid, pop the shifter out exposing the hold (don't let anything fall in), then pop the drain plug, let the existing fluid drain out, replace the plug, pour in 1.8quarts (no more, or you over fill, but if you drained completely, it's 1.8quarts to full)

Diff is slightly more difficult, needing a plastic hand pump at least, but no more costly.
