Oil and Motor

What is the best Motor oil for a stock RX-8 and is it worth doing a Motor swap?

If you remove the trunk lid this Nissan Motor should fit.

why not a 3-rotor turbo, the only nissan motor to compete with that would be the RB26DETT and they are rare, heavy, and would be a tight fit in the engine bay.

If people want a nissan motor, or toyota motor, or chevy, or whatever else, why not just but said brand and then you will have one. Why buy a car with a unique engine, just to turn around and put an ordinary run of the mill engine in it?
