Any good name CONVENTIONAL oil is good for a rotary, primarily 20w-50 though, 10-30 seems to be to thin by the general consensus

This is all frequently asked stuff and can be found if you download the Factory Service manual at Foxed.ca.

Yes, it's fine.

I prefer Castrol GTX because it is good a controlling sludge in rotary engines. However, pretty much any brand of motor oil is fine.

See the factory service manual for which oil to use in a given outside temperature range. I use 10W-40 year-round in St. Louis. Yes, 20W-50 is for hot climates, and I used it when I lived in Florida.
