Series II RX-8's, post up your mileage
I have been tossing around replacing the 8 with a few other cars but I figure I can start this now and see what numbers there are after the new year. I am keeping my 04' til' this new engine dies but if the Series I truly does hold up engine wise then I would stay an 8 owner.
So tell me what your current mileage is! |
8850
4 quarts of top off oil changes at 250, 500, 1000, 2k, 3k, 6k, 8k (pre road trip) partially blown rear drivers side shock rear tires, now on front, almost bald. |
Dang, How did you blow a shock.
|
Dunno. I took it to 2 dealerships both failed to diagnose the problem. I said fuck it and got my hands dirty found it was the shock... meh. I'll get Konis in the spring.
|
Koni's FTW. There is a guy in the Gulf forum selling his Bilsteins.
|
7500 miles, obtained August 2008.
2 oil changes at the dealer thus far. Maybe a 1/2 quart of oil top off every 2-3 fill ups. Average around 20 mpg. |
Thanks. You don't drive much huh?
|
19,000 miles
Oil: 2 oil change by me to 5w30 1 oil change by dealership to 5w20 1 oil change by Pettit to 20w50 Parts: 1 transmission (shot to pieces) 4 plugs Consumption: 1 Quart oil every 900 miles 13 mpg city 22 mpg highway |
Cool, decent mileage. My first engine croaked at 22k. I am hoping the Series II's improvements will last at least 100k.
|
Jesus you two are not changing your oil enough at all

Exciting getting a new car huh?

Yup, and coming from my 328 coupe, it feels so much different. I love how stiff the chassis is.

550 miles. Bought it August 29th.
Gas mileage-don't care. No problems-starts up within a second of cranking it. Love it! A little top up of oil and binned the engine cover. |
Damn some of you drive ALOT in one year!
