RX-8 DVD in mail today
I got an RX-8 product update DVD in the mail today. Not to bad. It’s 11 minutes long and has info on the Rotary engine, how to deflood the engine, what fuel to use and tire pressure. All and all not to bad.

I got it today too. Good info (stuff we already know ) but who in god's name is that dorky guy playing the "owner" of the car. I know none of us real RX-8 owners are that lame. I was LMAO watching.....it's worth it for that alone.

I also, would love to hear more from this. Having purchased my RX-8 used, I'm sure that I will never be on Mazda's address list. It would be great if some one could summarize the info or somehow make some of it available.

I bought mine last weekend and didn't get a copy.
Time to fire up that DVD burner.

Got mine yesterday too. Great video. I was laughing during the oil checking section when they were using the arrows to point out where the oil line was because you couldn't see a thing.

The only thing I got from the video was that they actually do not recommend synthetic oil due to lack of long term statistical data that shows anything for or against its use. Other than that, nothing new. Not really exciting. Everything is already in the manual.

Just got mine and I have never flooded my engine. I do know that you should be registered with Mazda for warranty information to get the video. Otherwise, they don't know you.
Learned how to deflood the engine in the video. Also, my dealership recommends that I use 5W30 but the video recommends 5W20. The higher weight may be better in the summer and the lower weight in the winter and that is probably the dealerships changes it over in winter.
Yes, the driver is dorky but it basically reminds me of myself (geek owner... :D )

I got mine in the mail yesterday as well. Unless they're just blanket sending them to every RX-8 owner the only thing that happened recently that may have caused it was that I had the recall done just over two weeks ago. Perhaps they are using that to ensure that it goes to the current owners?

Just entered my VIN on Mazda's website. Thanks for the heads up on that one...
