First Time RX-7 Owner - What to know?
As the title states, I just received my first RX-7 from my Dad. It's a 1990 GTU. I was hoping y'all could give me a crash course in how I can best take care of it. It currently runs great and I want to keep it that way. A few facts about the car:
-150k Miles
-Hasn't been regularly driven in 10-12 years
-Starts and runs fine
Essentially I'm just hoping for a few tips that every rx-7 owner needs to know. What is premix? Is 20-50 the best oil for me in Texas? Is there a particular brand of filters/belts/hoses that holds up better?
You know, just trying to learn everything I can. Thanks for the advice everyone!

parts are weird for these cars, its best to check prices on factory items first. they always fit correctly and work, and often they are the same price or cheaper than the aftermarket.
the filters would be the exception, anything is fine.
if you are meticulous about the servicing, you can just drive it like you stole it, which is pretty nice
