rx8 troubles

i am thinking about buying a 2006 rx8, but i have been hearing a lot about how the engine fails and the recommended 5w-20 oil causes damage to the engine because it makes the engine to hot and that you should use 5w-30 oil. You all own rx8's so what is the real deal behind this rotary engine.
