Although nothing is said about a rotary, look through the FAQ's.

only went to Jiffy Lube because I only had 10 miles before my oil change needed for warranty reasons. I was kind of a jerk told them not to touch anything but the oil change. But they did the cpt test anyway yet couldn't give me any specific details on what the test actually tests for. So I left them feeling like idiots when I told them my car had no pistons and Googling my car as i drove away.

I like that 2 of the 3 FAQ links are just animated cars talking about how great their engines feel now that Jiffy Lube has done this test and figured out whats wrong with them.
