Hmm......

Dear Aero....non synthetic is Dino, Dino is short for dinosaur......oil derived from purification and distillation process from Dino Fossil and therefore is call dino oil or non synthetic.

I thought Shell Helix is synthetic. Maybe there are other grades....within Helix that is non synthetic.

Hi Fab 8,

I knew from my SE that they MM used to carry Rotary oil but were all sold to those who own RX7 and currently no stock. Since now they have brought in the RX8, I think they will also be brings the Rotary oil again soon. My SE is still checking for me, I will get a reply from him soon.
