Exclamation Full Synthetic Oil In Rx-8!!

I Got My 8 Like A Month Ago, It Now Has 15700 Miles, Its An 04 With Full Mazdaspeed Bodykit And Spoiler, And 18 By 8.5 Wheels, Anyways, I Did My First Oil Chage Like Last Week, And I Put Full Synthetic 10w30 In It, And To Me It Is Acting A Little Wierd, Aem Cai Sounds A Little Rought On High Rpms, And It Also Seem A Little Slower..... A Friend Of Mine Owns A Rx-7 Turbo Ii, He Told Me To Not Ever Put Synthetic In A Rotary, Because It Does Someting To The Seals Or Something Like That, But He Told Me That Since This Was The First Time, It Should Be Fine, And He Said Not To Do It Again, So What Do You Guys Think, Should I Live It In There, Or Should I Take It Out, And What Type Of Motor Oil Should I Use? My Firend Said To Use One That Was For High Milage Because I Guess It Helps The Seals, Let Me Know What You All Think...........

Wow. Do you have to capitalize the first letter of each word?

that's crazy...with all the added time it would take to capitalize EVERY word, you probably coulda searched and read through a half dozen threads alone.

suggest you stick with what the manual states, with is neither synthetic NOR 10w30. Kinda dropped the ball on that one. I could understand why it's running irregular

Mugato will be with you shortly, sir.

Synth is fine after it is broke in.

I can't vouch for what the manual says at this very moment about synthetic or non-synthetic oil but the DVD that came with my 06 says NOT to use synthetic in it.

Its the only synthetic oil specially made and tested for a rotary engine, thats why they sell it. The manual clearly states not to use synthetic in the engine but that synthetic for the trany and diff. is fine. 10w is to heavy, i would use 5w20 like most do on here.

How many of these do we need? The manual does not clearly or specifically say to not use synthetic. Can't you people read legal-speak. It says that synthetic oil is not recommended. That does not mean to not use it. I don't have all the info on hand, but it can be found if you search for it. RG has a post that sums up a lot of the info and dis-info about synthetic oil. If I find it I'll post it here.
