Was I the only one who got it and thought "Product Update DVD? Wow, cool. They actually sent an update for the Nav Unit!"

... Only to open it up and find some lame 10minute video that I should have gotten a year ago?

Well well well, About the Oil

They do NOT recommended. does not mean I cant use Synth Oil.

Just like they dont recommended Aftermarket wheels. Oh well I still have the OEM high gloss wheels but hey, one day Ill change it to MazdaSpeed one, I wonder will they "Do not recommended the use of Aftermarket Wheel(s)" haha!

The good thing is that they call it a "high revving" engine, and actually show the driver taking the RPM's up near the redline area. Now, if they try to void a warranty for racing the engine, you can throw this official Mazda dvd in their face.

Ahh, but just a personal "point of view"

I got mine in the mail Friday. I have not watched it yet, since I figured it was stuff I already know ( I did have the RX-7 for a while before buying the RX-8). Is it actually worth watching?

Depends... how badly do you want those 11 minutes of your life back?

I got in on friday and watched it on saturday. It is... not bad. Teach people that know nothing about the rx-8 a lil something about taking care of it. Such as oil adding and checking, tpms, and some other stuff.

My girlfriend sat down in the middle of the video and her first words were "He doesn't own an 8." I love my babies.

I got it too.

I got the impression they were sending these out so people knew that the Rotary burns oil ON PURPOSE and to check it at least every other fill up...kind of made me wonder if some owners were running them dry on oil.
