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...

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.
