I just got my fd and ive been hearing things from other owners like the motors rub better on **** oil, and full synthetic sucks? i havent researched much into rotary's yet so i have no clue why this would be true. help me out.

 

What's **** oil? If it is Castrol GTX than yeah it runs great on **** oils. Full synthetics leave deposits in rotaries no good.

Castol GTX 10w30 every 3,000kms here.

 

ah thanks much

 

Castrol GTX 10w40 here, no problems so far.

 

Castrol GTX or Pennzoil 10W-30 every 3000kms or 3months which ever comes first...(usually the 3 months :-) comes 1st )

 

Castrol GTX 20-50 here with no problems.

 

I'd never stick pennzoil in any of my cars....

 

guys recommend a heavier oil but i have been running 10w30 for 7 yrs now. my stock original engine runs awesome. i wouldnt switch oil for anything...proof is in the pudding.

 

castrol gtx 10-30 every 2k on the dot.

does anyone remember that thread about how they were cutting down on the amount of the good 'stuff' in the oils because piston engines no longer need that kind of wear protection? there was a list of brands and amounts they were cutting, i wish i remembered if castrol was on it or not.

i brought this up because a few days ago when i was changing my oil, i noticed that new oil i purchased on the last oil change (i buy 5qts and leave half of the 5th in the rear bin) was MUCH darker and thicker than the oil i has just purchased to do the change. and it was all the same brand, same type, same place ive ALWAYS bought it from.

i tried searching for the thread but i cant remember any key words in it.

 

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!
