how do i know if my rotary needs an oil change??

 

i suppose it will send you a postcard?

 

hahahaha if the oils black

 

dude are you kidding me? keep track of that ****

 

If it's been flooded, lots of stop and go driving, hot ambient temps, or 3000ish miles it likely needs an oil change.

 

3k miles... or if you drive hard you could change it sooner.. i change mine in my TII about every 2k miles.... but it doesnt get driven much.

 

With a rotary.. if you have to ask. just do it anyways. It will NEVER hurt to change the oil. unless you never change the filter along with it, but that is just common sense.

 

hahahaha if the oils black

 

yeah +1 on that... if u have to ask... change it... dont be a dumbass and not change the filter to... just be sure to drain the oil
then take the filter off... if u dont... oil will go everywhere... so just change it!!!

 

how do i know if my rotary needs an oil change ?? j/w cuz i don't know when the last oil change was on it

 

If you don't know then change it. Then go with every 3k miles or 3 months. Some people say 5k for N/A's.

 

The same as every other car? Check your oil and see what colour/viscosity it is. If its black and sludgy, you'd think you would change it. Like My5ABaby said, just change it anyways to be safe.

 

Just change it if you dont know, thats the first thing i did when i bought my FC

 

ok dude you asked this same question yesterday....
here is the link

did you not get enough information yesterday?

 

is every 4000km OK for a 1991 Turbo 2?

 

4000km is fine (depending on your driving). You could change it every 200km if you wanted but it'd get a bit expensive. I think the Owner's Manual suggests 3,000 mi (4828 km).

 

why is this question soooo hard.... its damn near the same for evey car.... just do us all a favor and search first... or look in your owners manual. or just do like every other person and jiffy lube tells you 3k miles or 3 months...arrr

 

you should change it when the long eared donkey tells you too....duh

 

I was gunna say something totally not nice... but thats not me typically... we're here to support eachother (and flame once in a while)

Basic car maintenence dude... you really shouldn't have got an FC if you dont know basic car maintenance... but hey, you'll definitely learn... the hard way i'm afraid.

 

check the dipstick, dipstick... when it gets black and sludgy then change it!

didn't you know the rotary can go 60,000 miles inbetween oil changes???

 

If its still running, it needs to be changed soon

 

When the motor comes to a screaming halt, screeching and glowing from friction, you waited too long.

man... some idiot is gunna take that the wrong way...

"i dont have to change my oil for 5k miles!"

Lets not all forget that rotorys are oil injected... if you go 3k miles or 3 months... chances are your gunna be pretty damn low on oil... if not damn near empty.

I do overkill... either 2k miles.. or once a month. its like 13 bucks, thats not much.

 

I sure hope RETed doesn't see this... He'll put a gun in his mouth.

You are all morons.

 

Hell, I was just going to tell the guy to change it when it turns black.
Rule of thumb is to change oil every 3,000 miles.
