WTF? You don't put oil in the freaking gas. Read the stickies and learn more about cars before you even consider buying a rx7.

Get yourself a bottle of bourbon, a pail to **** in and allot about a hundred hours to read every thread in this section of the forum.
You'll feel like crap afterwards but thank me for not telling you to RTFM and the above stickies.

Besides, a drunken foray through the forum is the perfect way to spend Father's Day.

^^you what premix is?

TO the original poster, just start reading the forum as much as you can. read the stickies. And then if yo decide to get a seven, you'll be informed and prepared to ask for help when you actually need it.

well seems like u been in the forums for a couple of months so let me ask u these questions in order for us to answer yours.

1-what other cars are in to mind besides the fc3s?
2- are you using this car as a daily driver?
3- do you have a stable job ?
4- do you know how to work on cars in a general basis..ie..oil changes, spark plugs, air filters, fuel filters,spark plug wires, flushing your coolant system..etc

also most of the info you need can be found easily on this forum, because there have been many members that started just like you one time in their rotary life...so dont hesitate to use the search button as much as u can it will be your best friend

look here---https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=494667

NOTE: if you cant find your answer it doesnt hurt to post that you tried searching but had no impact,

See the General Questions section of the FAQ. Aaron's website has a good buying guide, and Chapter 0 of the shop manual has a maintenance schedule for you to follow.

In original stock form, the car comes with an Oil Metering Pump (OMP) which automatically injects oil from the regular engine oil supply. The normal usage is about 1 quart per 3000 miles. You will not need to put oil in with the gas unless you buy a car with a non-functional or removed OMP.

Obviously not.

You guys may want to read the FAQ yourselves before ripping on a new forum member.

I would also like to see a link to the FAQ that covers whether or not to add oil to the fuel. Also, I don't see how it is easliy searched.
