Brand of Oil that you use
Post what brand of oil you're using, and why you chose it.
I'm running Castrol, not exactly sure of the sub name because I just bought the car and that's what it came with. I'll be putting in Royal Purple pretty quick because its quality and the best synthetic you can get. Atleast that's what ive heard.

I use Havoline dino oil. I use it because it burns very ash-free and is typically very cheap.
My second choice is Castrol GTX which is most people 1st choice.
Eventually I'll be blocking off the OMP and going synthetic.. but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
On a side note: WTF. There are like 50 of these threads.. you might want to search.

Redline. Being a polyoester oil based synthetic, it handles the extreme temperature changes in an RX7 oil system better than any other oil. I use Royal Purple in my other cars, but the viscocity just doesn't last in a 7.
Motul 15/50 full racing oil just gotta stay on top of my oil changes when i ws run normal oil i was running the diesel grade of CASTROL one of the better oils to use in a rotary.

You probably already know because you openly said you stay on top of your changes, but it needs to be openly stated that actual racing oils should not be used in steet cars as they contain little or no detergents to maximize the antiwear additive packages. For the same reason they are usually only available in straight grades, as viscosity modifiers act as a similar limiting factor.
