hey, great question. I was just thinking that myself. If ya'll don't mind I was wondering why 20w50 would be the best. I think I'll go out and buy some this weekend :-) thanks again.

ha, funny. I have not used Castrol before I got my 7. Now I do, funny that it was a good choice though, although it's a little colder here in Wisconsin, I use 10W-30. Why do you use 20W-50?...later

Well, I was using Castrol on my other cars, before I went rotary, and I swear by the stuff. Not just for Rotaries.

bcool, you blocked off your OMP and still use normal oil? You do realize you need to add premix right? BTW, Premix is the way to go (IMOP), my car runs better with it.

Oh yes i do relize that i need to premix, in hint "premix". I use Chevron cause i was told that it happened to have the lowest ash content. I was curious if the engine likes it to take less weight of oil when it doesnt have to feed then engine anymore?
