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.

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
