Mazdaspeed Rotary 1 Motor Oil
Do you guys know anything about the Mazdaspeed Rotary 1 Motor Oil that is sold at corksport.com?
http://www.corksport.com/store/index.php3?cat=214910
$25/qt?
Does it have gold dust in the oil? Or is it just the can that's made of platinum?

Knightsports sells rotary oil as does R magic. I dont think there is anything that much different from that oil and oil you can get at Pep Boys. Remember, mazdaspeed isnt an oil company so that means they bought their oil from someone else and rebadged it.

Actually, it's $104 a can. But the can is 4L so ~$25/qt.
What kind of additive could they put to make them think they can charge that kind of premium?

the only different ingrediant is that somone along the lines thought that a rptary engine was somthing right out of this world and from another planet this same person alsodecuded that parts for it should be stupid expensive and only a small hand full of mechanics on the planet will work on one .. thus causing most of the rotary owners to become doit your selfers ... its an engine use engine oil .... noone of this make you go broke bullshit .. so long as its lubed up it works ...

I just researched it. A company called idemitsu developed it.
http://www.idemitsu-usa.com/page_252.htm
It's a full synthetic oil specially built for rotarys.
It has some unique ingredients in it. Check out the site.
It's about $7.50 a qt here:
http://www.rx7.com/store/rx7/fcengine_maintenance.html
The technology base for these formulations goes back to the first and only 24 Hour Le Mans race winner using a rotary engine for which IDEMITSU developed the winning oil.
As the developer of the engine oil for the winning 1991 LeMans Mazda 787B and a long time supplier of vital lubricants to Mazda, Idemitsu has intimate knowledge of the requirements of rotary engines.

Wow. I didn't read a whole lot of that article, but I noticed several either misinformed of flat out wrong statements. My personal favorite is that the rotary engine has "cooler combustion." Anyone familiar with these motors knows that they run hotter than piston motors and have sky-high exhaust temps rivaling high output race engines.
The synthetic thing, as I mention earlier in this thread, has be disproven every time this topic comes up. It is true that certain synthetics are very bad to use in a car with the stock oil metering system in place, others (AMSoil and royal purple, for example) are perfectly fine for use in a stock car. In fact, AMSoil actually burns cleaner that regular dino-juice. Now it is debatable whether it is worth spending the extra money on them, but thats up to the owner of the car to decide.
