Anyone Use Royal Purple motor oil on their 8 ??
I know Mazda and some people dont recommend the use of synthetic oil on an RX8 but I have been on the FAQS page on the Royal Purple website and they talk about how they don't know why mazda makes such a statement and that their oil is actually great to use on this car and will have no bad effects on a rotary engine etc.....
Want to know if any of you guys use it and what kind of results you have gotten from it ? Also I know 5w-20 is what is recommended in the US but have any of you guys used 5w-30 ? Thanks! |

|

haha..what weight do you use ? 5W-30 ?
|

|
^really? I'm a 10w40 guy myself.
|
im not, i use castrol GTX 5w30
|
I run GTX when I need some monies, ya know. It was nice when I was getting Redline for free...
|
i use steak sauce lululz
|
jeez, search.
|
10w40 Royal purple this go around. May change to a lighter weight next time since I started premixing.
|
1. nice thread revive
2. premixing shouldn't have any bearing on your oil weight 3. RP is overrated and in my own experiences always lost its viscosity during a 3000mi interval when compared to less expensive oils. |
old skool FTW meant something else entirely.
RP oil is definitely overrated and overpriced. I use Mobil1 Their MAX ATF is good stuff though. I've stuck with it through two 30,000 mile transmission flushes. Don't use their manual transmission stuff though. It kills the MT. |
For the past year or so I've been using RP 10-30. It's so hot at the moment I decided to go with a case of RP 10-40 HPS. Next change I'm probably switching back to Amsoil 0-30 Signature Series for good.
|
I've always used RP 10-40 been happy on all my rotary engine , used 20-50 before this hot weathers I feel more comfortable using it
|
Royal Purple runs just fine, I ran 5-30 through the winter. But I've moved to a 0W40 Mobil 1 synthetic due to the synthetic oil thread - many users have had their oil tested and showed 0W40 M1 was a very good oil (for N/A applications as far as I know).
I do suggest use of synthetic as Mazda Japan condones the use of 0W30 synthetic (although starting issues may occur). I have had no issues with startup* Also, I feel as if there was some performance gains as well. But don't quote me on that ;) |
eneos FTW
|
Idemitsu Oil or bust the stuff is only $90 a case too... How do people not know about this stuff.

I'm not sure I could give money to a company that takes so little pride in itself to put up a website like that. Plus for what it's worth a 12 qt case from Amazon for royal purple is the same price, plus if you have Prime you get free 2nd day shipping on it.
