What type of motor oil do you use ?
I spent the afternoon trawling around the local San Francisco gas station forecourts looking for 5w-20 motor oil (as recommended in the handbook) but to no avail, does everyone stick religiously to this grade or is it safe to use other types ?
I bought my 2005 RX-8 a month ago and have been reading on this site the need to keep an eye on the oil level. Hmmmm, why didn't the dealership tell me this when I bought it ? They simply said see you in 7500 miles for the 1st oil change ...

90% of North American RX-8s will probably follow the 'Schedule B' maintenance schedule, aka 'severe driving' condition, which calls for 5000 mile oil changes.
people here do 3000 because we're **** about our cars, at least i am :o
and yeah, most gas stations don't carry the new 5w20 grades, have to actually go to a *store* to pick those up :D

This whole topic is more like a religion, so it can be argued about all they long.
