What kind of engine oil? no synthetic???
Hello
I was talking to this kid at school with RX-8, and he just told me I shouldn't fill any synthetic engine oil in my FD. I just recently purchased FD, and previous owner told me to fill in with synthetic. I changed engine oil last week with 10W30 synthetic.. Is this a problem? I'm worried... :( |

sorry guys this is the only way to post .. for some reason my whole thread doesn't go through unless I make a thread and edit it. :D
|
I've read "never user synthetic and I've read that synthetic is OK once the engine is broken in. Royal Purple seems to be the synthetic of choice.
|
to your intended question, a good synthetic is in now way bad for your FD. Do a search there are tons of arguemen..... discussions about oil.
|
Don't even need search. Read the FAQ. It's in the sticky thread at the top of the forum. If that doesn't answer your questions about synthetic, then do a search. Whatever you do, it's not worth another thread. EVERYTHING regarding this topic is a beaten, dead horse.

I've been told by a few rotar shops that you should use regular 20w50 oil

I had a kid at shcool argue with me because he truly thought tey were going 160 mph and outran a helicopter with the mustang in "Gone in 60 seconds"
He tried to give me a whole rundown on how they had a specially trained driver that could handle the car at those speeds and outrun the heli. Um yeah, school is DEFINATELY the way to go for pertinent and useful information. ;) |
Tri-Point Engineering recommends Mobile 1 Synthetic in all of their rebuilds. That right there was enough for me to make the switch. Maybe in yesterdays synthetics that didn't burn well and left a lot of deposits, it was bad for rotaries. But in today's synthetics that issue is no longer found.
When I was selling my FD, I had numerous phone calls and emails from idiots that told me that I should take out in the ad that I used synthetic and it was so bad for my car. :rofl: |
My temps went down after I switched to synthetic. My temp gauge says it all.
|
use synthetic, I plan to once I break in my new motor.
