Thumbs up Got a few questions on my 8

-How often should i check/change oil.

-Are the 8 stock speakers good?

-The engine cover that you can remove in the engine, the one taht has all the info, can i remove that?

-What type of gas?????
the video said for max use 91, but then they said 87? which one is best. and if i use regular, will it screw up the car?

And best place/website to buy winter tires and mazda rx8 parts like spoilers, hoods etc.

I check every 10k miles
speakers are the best I've ever heard. Ever!
removing the cover will gain you 25+ horsepower
I use diesel. Although, my flux capasitor takes weekly garbage
I get my tires from other peoples' cars. Saves me some cash

your welcome

I check the oil every fill up. That way it's easy to see how your oil consumption is.

For me...

Check oil level every month.
The speakers i have is just okay. I don't need a loud sound or bass.
Yes, you could remove that, i don't have one with mine. I bought it without it.
I use 89 octane, so far no problem.
Tires.com and try ebay for parts, good luck.

This is BULLSHIT.

You need to check your oil dependent upon how you drive.

Start at 400 miles and go up 200 miles.

Usually you will find 800 miles is the spot.

If you do hard driving, always good to check after the run.
