I have had so many conflicting opinions on general maintenance for the RX8 thought I would post this to hopefully dispel any confusion..
1. I was told to get a compression check on my engine to show its condition and flag any issues. When at the Mazda garage they said they would do a Hot and Cold compression check and charge me for both, afterwards I was told I only needed the hot compression test and Mazda are pulling a fast one making me pay for both?
2. When using Petrol always use premium fuel (more expensive) yet at a local garage I met an RX 8 owner who said hed always used normal unleaded no problem?
3. Keep oil topped up as the Renesis rotary engine uses oil as part of the combustion process, when topping up use RX8 Mineral oil not semi or synthetic? yet I have met several people who use semi synthetic and a local garage put rx8 into computer and he fetched me semi synthetic oil..I currently use mineral oil Mazda bought but wondered is this a farce and can I use semi synthetic as apparently the car is designed to deal with it?
hope i can get some clarity 8)
