I've been using *Full* Synthetic Oil for the past 30K miles. and will continue to do so.

Have yet to have a problem. I never had any *Engine slow down* bullshit or problem whatsoever

Does that answer your question taja ?

I got one of the 5w30 5 Gallon Bottle before, Finally used it all up on my last oil change (a week ago). I have to say that, if you ask me, I would rather spend an extra 50 cents or so to get the 1 quart each bottle, I know it adds up but, it saves you a lot of time in pumping the oil out of the Bottle (or Jug)

no like seriously, some guys (and i mean more than 2 or 3) told me to use only idemitsu engine oil on the renesis, to this day I still dont rly know the truth since there are both cases of failure and people who run it for years without problem
so i just use idemitsu everything and pray

Yep. Look at the Rotary Engine section of the FAQs on Royal Purple's website, it basically sums up the concerns. Dealers often claim to be against synthetics for most of the reasons listed there.

according to the site, its perfectly safe, which begs the question, where did the rumor of it killing engines start?
