Guys,

Heard from some "geek" from MM that rotary engine should only take mineral based engine oil. I m not convinced by what he say.. and think some of you guys bought synthetic thrust oil.. any opinions??

Hmmm, guess we will never know the true answer.....

Anyways, most of us use synthetic. Even big modification names in Japan like HKS, Fujitsubo, R-Magic, Trust sell fully synthetic oils for Rotary. N they r considered the premium ones too.

However, some in our circle have also claimed better idling and stuff... I guess u should mix n match urself and use wad u think is best...

When ur car landin?

If u service at MM it will be mineral-based by default, right?

This has been discussed to death many times over. Do a search in the Tech Garage, which is where I'm moving this thread to, for much more info.
