Who has the highest mileage RX8?
Just 4,500 miles for me. Some of you have got to be at 10,000 or higher.

How is she holding up?

heavy use, every 5000, light use every 7500 according to Mazda. Several here go for the every 3000 mile

At 8300 you definitely need a change.

You need to READ the user guide ASAP.

From Jan 1 to Jan 31 I put just over 4,000 miles on my rx8. I dont drive much anymore now. It pretty much sits and looks pretty in my driveway.

Rotaries need to be driven. They don't like to sit.

I have 9,082 since OCT 24. No problems at all.

They dont "have" to be driven. They are no different than any other engine. If they sit for an extended period of time (months or a year or so) then change the oil.
