Hi Guys,

What do most of you guys use for motor oil? Synthetic or just regular Motor Oil? I recall someone telling me to only use regular oil for the FD Turbocharged Engine. Which I don't understand why, because I've owned turbocharged cars before and have always used Mobil 1 Synthetic Motor Oil.

All responses and recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

I don't want to be impolite, but this has been covered ad nauseum. Please do a search on this subject. There are lots of threads, and there are lots of opinions, but no definitive answers.

use dino oil if you have the stock omp

if you premix, use anything.

 

Thanks "Guitarjunkie28",

I'm a newbie to the RX7 world. What's "Dino" oil and "OMP?"

 

Dino oil == conventional oils (non-synthetic)
OMP = Oil Metering Pump (sometimes called MOP)

 

complex subject simplified:

you... use castrol gtx. 20/50 in the summer and 10/40 in the winter.

if you want to get deeper than that, pop a few valium as a concentration aid, and read the 9000 threads on it.
