You don't switch over to synthetic, on a high mileage engine, after it's been run on conventional.

Can someone escort this individual to the correct place for these questions please? GENERAL AUTOMOTIVE is not the place for RX-8 DISCUSSION.

All the best with your RX-8 ownership Señor Padilla.

Paul.

I'd recommend the oil that works, and you can find the answer to that question scattered across multiple sun forums that you neglected by not searchong a topic that is of high debate and personal preference both will contribute to the downward spiral this thread will soon have if it continues to be left open

Read the following, or expect no future help from most if not all members.
