If flooded/change the engine oil!

Had my RX-8 serviced for the engine cranks but no start. I love the new bat/starter combo, should have come this way. It was mentioned to me by someone at the dealership that they normally change the oil as part of the update. Please be aware that this is not part of the TSB but in my opinion should be. Pickup up the car and drove for three days on thinned down gas/oil mixture before checking the oil. Needless to say I changed it immediatly before putting another mile on the car.

Hope this helps someone. Make sure to change the oil after engine flooding.
