Get something real slippery.

There's also a DIY on getting the most of the old oil out. Don't forget to buy a filter.

The rotary engine can run on ANY oil.... you know that vegetable oil your mom cooks with? just buy some of that shit and dump it in - when you drive it will smell like you are cooking fries too!

Hell even put some liquid KY in the engine - but dont get the warming liquid, our engines already run hot as it is.


First: read your manual so you get the proper weight, then spend 10 hours rresearching here on the proper oil to use, after said 10 hours and you realize you wasted the whole time, just go pick up some royal purple, or if you wanna play it safe Penzoil.

Rule of thumb: when the oil guage hits 1/4 add 2 quarts of 20w 50 any old type.

get whatever is the cheapest, its just gonna get burned and end up as carbon anyway
