Synthetic tends not to burn as well as conventional oil, because it is sprayed into the combustion chamber this is bad. However, premium synthetics (read mobil 1 or better) are perfectly fine for the rotary. Mazda Race teams use synthetics in their engines.

However, a simple search will get you all of the other threads explaining this.

iono about that royal purple stuff... but you can run it if you like. heard a lot of pros and cons about it. good luck though

Really, all myou need is good conventional oil. I have been running Castrol GTX 20W-50 with great success, as have countless other people.

same here, either GTX 20W-50 or valvoline 20W-50, whichever is cheaper at the time

Been running Castrol GTX 20W-50 without any issues here. I even premix 1/2oz to 1/4oz per gal just to keep on the safe side.
