look in the "culmalitve oil thread" RG has a great single post in there that should help clear up your confusion.
btw, how can you have accumulate over a thousand posts and not seen the many oil threads/arguements/information/misinformation ?

Just use what it says in your manual.

Talk about contradicting posts......The RX8 owners manual does not say "5w20 synthetic" oil anywhere, period. I'm not sure what manual your referring to, but it's not that one. However if you read the synthetic oil threads, many owners here have used synthetic with no problems at all.If your still in doubt about it use what the manual says.
