Read your SE3P manual that the car came with.

Not sure about this Freshing oil but the mineral oil will do. I doubt this freshing oil will hurt anything as it actually looks like better oil for the 8.

Any motor oil works for other cars will work for RX-8

Its just that if you're in Indonesia, you might want to use something heavy like 20w50

You CAN use that oil! Use it! You can use it! Synthetic is better in my opinion, but that is debatable.

You DON'T need rotary oil!
