Thanks for the replies Kent, I guess I was more curious as to the weight of the oil you used. You go for the full on "Le Mans" 20w-60?

They don't list the pricing for the 20w50, odd. |

$10-11 per quart :shocking:

Both from a Mobil site:
Will the use of Mobil 1 void my new-car warranty? With the exception of the Mazda rotary engine (Mazda does not recommend any synthetic oils), Mobil 1 will not void new-car warranties. Mobil 1 exceeds the API and ILSAC engine-oil service requirements of all new-car manufacturers, both import and domestic. If in doubt, always check your vehicle owner’s manual or contact your vehicle’s manufacturer. Question: Using Mobil 1 in a Mazda Rotary Engine I have a 2005 Mazda RX-8. This has a rotary engine, which injects oil into its intake path. Can I use Mobil 1 without risk of incomplete oil burn and or buildup? -- Matt Hejnas, Central Valley, NY Answer: Mazda does not recommend the use of synthetic oils in its rotary engines. To help maintain your vehicle's warranty coverage, we suggest that you follow your car builder's engine oil recommendation.

The 'synthetic oil being detrimental to rotaries' thing is ridiculous.
Synthetic Idemitsu was formulated specifically for use in......you guessed it, rotaries. I've torn down many many motors, and the ones run primarily on synthetic showed less wear.

so after all , the Mobile 10w 30 synthetic oil will be the best oil for Rotaries? i thought the castrol GTX 20w 50 is the best oil for rotaries

The discussion of fuel dilution though has me most interested. |

Great article. Now I know to use 0w-XX weight in synthetic, the only question is what is the second number we should be running? I'm assuming 30-40.

I used to use RP 10w30. I'm using 15w40 now. Once i get my heat exchangers in order i might drop back to 10w30 depending on how everything works out. |
so mobiel 10w30 vs castrol 20w 50. which one will be the one getting for our fd? which one better.

Yeah i just bought castrol syntec blend 10W-30. Gonna put this in this weekend. Then going with the idemitsu this summer. |
I use Racing oil, Valvoline 50 weight and a little bit of Lucas oil. Thats on the race car
|
I currently use Mobil 1 10-30 but I'll be switching to Redline on my next oil change.
