I used to, but if you ever run low on oil, and stop at the gas station and you see
$8.99 for one quart of MOBIL 1.. Youll probably switch to regular DINO JUICE..

if you stay on top of yoru oil changes.. Synthetic is kinda waste of money.

Our rotaries inherently burn/use oil in the motor.. so
Ideally you would think it would rather have a oil it can actually
burn..

i use 20w-50 Castrol

So it can't burn synthetic oil?! Maybe you need to take advantage of the search feature found on this board!
