i recently bought a non-turbo 1986 rx 7 with the rotary engine.i know these engines require more upkeep and regular maintenace than regular engines.i was wandering if there was a website that had a list of regular maintenance i could do to keep my rx 7 running forever.or even like a book i could buy or something.it has 130k miles,but is running strong and has no apparent problems.i just would like to do tons of preventative maintenance.because i looooove this car,thanks a bunch

 

Oil changes every 3k, flush all fluids every spring, if winter driven make sure salt doesnt sit on the car all winter, plugs (our cars go thru them pretty quickly), wires. Dont think you actually make power at 9000rpm and try to rev that high. You have a redline on the tach for a reason. I think Ted has a maintainance list on fc3s-pro.com but I am not sure.

 

Make sure you don't baby your car. Rotories love to rev. I'm not saying ignore yer beeeeeeeeeep around 8 grand, but make sure you don't baby it.

 

Actually most rotarys have less maintenace than piston engines...

No valves to adjust, no timing belts to break... the only real things are to replace the oil every 3K miles for a turbo and 5k miles for a NA, and all the other fluids and spark plugs once a year.
