Sorry but I gotta ask.... what is the mulligan video?

Is that the one with the two dudes announcing the issues to the company about RX8 issues?

I have a latter '05 build and never had milky oil on the dipstick. But I figured the catch can was good insurance for this and also to trap what would normally be routed to the manifold intake on this model year.

I've not heard one person mention a problem with oil in the intake.... guess we are lucky.

That all being said .. I'm going to make sure I use a funnel from now on and seriously considering the SeaFoam .... perhaps just for fun.

It's a simple matter of checking your starter serial number to confirm ...

edit: here's the old 'cranks won't start' TSB that had the Starter (and battery) info.
