It's not mine, it's just a random UOA from rx7club.com.

With all that gas, he made a 10w40!

I'd run the 20w50, too, if I couldn't get that 3.3% gas down some, but I'd rather fix the over rich or whatever, and run 0w40.

As soon as Mazda introduced its synthe-renesis oil Mazda lost the synthetic oil debate because it does not make sense that the official Mazda factory synthetic factory oil will void the warranty. Unfortunately my dealer still threatens to void out my warranty because he goes by the instructions of an owners manual incorrectly translated from Japanese to English rather than stand by the quality of Mazda original equipment parts.
