Not only that but when it gives you the total oil capacity keep in mind that this number will be higher than the actual oil you use dud to the fact that most rx7's have a oilc cooler and well you don't drain that oil when you drain the oil pan.
Again the best bet is always to check your dipstick after you do an oil change and after you have started the car and let run for a bit so the oil filter can suck up some of the oil.

And always make sure to check the oil everytime you fill up the car with gas. It is a good habit to get into.

I used it and didn't see any appreciable difference in oil smoke either on startup or high rpm shifts/decel. Be that as it may my new engine is developing a small oil leak at the dowel pins and I'm going to try it again on my next oil change to see if the oil leak goes away.

^^^If I remember correctly it went straight to his oil cooler. And this stuff is extremely thick when cold so it blocked the flow of oil to the oil cooler. That's why they said to add a couple of qts of oil first so this doesn't happen.

Do it, do it.... so you can tell me if I should pore in the half the bottle in that I have!!!!
