I, for one, am tired of people saying not to use synthetic in a rotary. You want the cleanest burn and the best protection inside the combustion chambers against friction on your rotary? Then a SYNTHETIC two-stroke premix oil can't be beat. You want the best protection for your engine internals with the lowest friction and longest wear? Then a SYNTHETIC motor oil is for you.
If just one person stops spreading the myth, then it's worth my effort. Don't even get me started on ATF and MMO...people should start thinking for themselves instead of blindly jumping to someone else's conclusion.

Racing Beat has been using Synthetic for years - what I'd like to know is are they also using a premix and can you rely on the OMP alone when using Synth. oils.
The only unanswered question so far is if Synthetics do not burn (or burn less), what happens to the oil the OMP is providing? Is it being burnt off or is it collecting in the form of a sludge in your engine. If racing beat is correct, the oil must be burning off - OR - they are not running the OMP and using a premix (synthetic??) as noted above. Anyone have any insight into this??

syn oils in my 12a best perf w/ r purple premix
i used royal purple... dam its expensive, not sure if i noticed much of an increase in power tho... this seams to be an old thread... can't believe people still debate that...
I'll follow what RB has to say, they know what they are talking about, perhaps more than mazda... or at least most of the mazda techs

Use synthetic in the engine oil, use the separate OMP tank mod w/2 cycle (good brand and enough for a few tanks) good to go.
I like to run seafoam once n awhile down the carb and let some premix soak in the engine randomly, it's like taking the engine out to dinner lolol.

I`m running AMSOIL interceptor for premix and am convinced that my next oil change will be with royal purple 10w30. And my FC I only use it on weekends, highway driving is way more fun than stop and go traffic.

The zinc is a high pressure lubricant additive that is needed for protection of the cam and lifters in a flat tappet engine.
Roller lifters do not need it.
Rotary engines do not need it since there are no cams or lifters.

Ever drain oil out of one rotary engine and dump it into another? That's what I do. It's cheaper than buying new and saves mother Earth. I call it the great rotary oil rotation.
Amsoil 5W-40W European Car Formula.
On a side note Amsoil has published a technical service bulletin TSB: MO-2007-09-06 on the use of synthetic oil in the Renesis engine. What it says applies to all rotaries I would think.

best oil?
I used royal purple in my repu's motor, with an OMP, and the internals are INCREDIBLY CLEAN. Very little carbon on the rotors.
Of course I use SeaFoam in the gas tank a lot.
