yes.. but everything he's saying is in the owners manual.. that would be why his video hasnt been ranked higher. Also, the owners manual says "um" a lot less then he does.

There aren't that many RX-8 on the road. Most people are happy to let the dealer take care of maintenance, or if they DIY they just follow the owner's manual. That doesn't leave a lot of people scouring YouTube for maintenance tips.

I read the owner's manual, scour this site for info, and let the dealer do most of the maintenance.

That just does not leave much spare YouTube time. I guess I could search for RX-8 stuff on YouTube using the wi-fi in the dealer's waiting room, since I can't really view my customary YouTube fare in public.

OMG, Not this Guy again....

I told him when he first posted this that much of his info is technically incorrect and the advice he gives is also very suspect..
