Find the MSP16 service bulletin. It's somewhere on this site, and also at finishlineperformance.com. Print it out, and when you go to the dealer show it to the service writer and ask if it's been done. They're actually supposed to check that on any RX-8 that comes in for any service...but they're still dealers.

Recall what New Yorker said a couple of days ago:

Do realize that, generally, more intelligent RX-8 owners read their owner's manual, know how to maintain their cars and know that it's important to do so. As a result, more intelligent owners generally don't have major car problems and have little reason to find their way onto a car forum like this one.
So keep in mind that you're asking for advice from the bottom of the class.

FL Reply to Q's

I have a 2006 Red Shinka edition and it only has 33,000 miles on it. I am looking to sell it for $17,000. I put oil in it about 3 or 4 times a year, and the gas mileage runs between 17 and 19 a gallon. I have nad no maintenance issues and I don't have to let it run before I drive it hard. Hope that helps. let me know if you have any interest in it.
