Hey all,
I've done a fair bit of research online about rotary engines but have never owned one before the one in the RX-8 I just picked up. I've heard tips like:
1) Let your car idle and warm up before driving
2) Allow your car to warm up properly before shutting it down
3) Rev your engine to 2.5-3k RPMs for 10-15 seconds before shutting it down, and shut it down immediately while still holding the accelerator
4) NEVER use synthetic oil, only conventional
5) Check oil levels after every other gas fill-up and top off as necessary as rotary engines consume some oil during normal operation
I was curious... are these tips all accurate, and are there any other highly critical maintenance and general care tips that I'm missing? I bought my RX-8 with 110k miles on it and am hoping to do everything I can to get many more miles out of it.
Thanks in advance!
