Is there alot of maintenance for this car? Is it worth it?
Is there alot of maintenance for this car? Example: I heard that you have to wait 2-5 minutes after you start the car or else it will flood and you would have to bring it to a Mazda dealer (since nobody knows how to work on this rotary engine) and get it fixed...(plus dealers are expensive to fix cars i think) ...I also heard you have to change the oil every 1,000 miles and that you have to rev the car to 3,000 rpm's right before you turn it off .... Are there any other things that I have to worry about? Also.....is it worth it? haha... Thanks again..

really.. got out to your glove box open up and get the owners manual... ya that is where it is.... and you tell me the first time you have to change the spark plugs... the antifreeze or the timing belt.... or just tell me what oil mazda recomends... go away... beers :beer: |
5W-20 (*edit* non synthetic), I've gotta got get some tomorrow early in the morning. I hope autozone has it.
|
wrong... no where in the owners manual does is say non synthetic...
good bye. forever.. beers |
Actually not in the owner's manual. It's in supplement information fold-outs and the tabbed rollo-guide thing. Let me go check.
|
Ok let me quote from the Mazda RX-8 Driver's Guide:
"Add only non-synthetic 5W-20 engine oil with SL or ILSAC on the container label. For added safety, an engine oil level warning light on the instrument panel with indicate low engine oil level" Its under the title "Fill it up, and check the oil too." |

You're probably right, I know nothing about the car compared to you guys.
I bought the car used with 3660 miles on it, so the previous owner had the Driver's Guide packed up in with the owners manual and the tabbed guide in the neoprene jacket. |
