Eh, I always hear that the R compound tires are the best in the snow. Soft and flexible in super low temps.
Doesn't help me solve whatever is causing all of this milky substance on my dipstick. Maybe I should stop sticking it places?

Sounds more like a civic with a gutted cat if you leave the oil out, people will think your car is faster. Plus, there's more smoke coming out, it's like you're so powerful you're throwing a ton of fuel out the back. beertitz will follow you everywhere.

What brand is it? Regardless of synth or dino, the brand will matter a lot when you're talking about long periods of high temp. Some brands shear under those conditions, losing you the lubrication you'll need.

Swoope, you don't need to add oil.
A friend of mine who works at a dealership said a customer told him about "PRE-MIXING" All you have to do is put the synthetic oil directly in the gas tank and it mixes all of it perfectly to optimize the Rotary engine. No more blown valves because of bad oil!
You'll do great at the track if you just pre-mix.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy. Make sure you water that stuff down first. I use about 1 liter of water per every 10 liters of gasoline, and then about 250ml of axle grease. You want to mix the axle grease into the water with a blender or a mixer first and when it's all frothy pour it into the gas tank.
Ends up being a nice 48L of gas, 5L of water, and 2L of axle grease all frothy and foamed up when it's done.
If your car sits for more than twenty minutes between runs, you should do some donuts right when you start up - it will warm up your tires and re-froth the gas a bit.
