What engine oil to use in 1985 rx7 1.1L
Hello guys, I just bought a rx7 last week and was wondering what oil viscosity I should run. I live in Topeka Kansas and the tempurature changes a lot. Any help would be awesome
Your profile indicated a 1985 model—-> 1985 Mazda RX-7 Factory Service Manual
Recommended viscosities are in the Lubrication section page 2-4. I think they’re based on the coldest temp anticipated before the next oil change.
And you can download the whole manual for free.
Sidenote FWIW given how cold it’s been here...many years since I bought my 81 brand new, but it wasn’t a cold weather car. Don't get me wrong...I loved that car. But it would flood in a heart-beat (requiring another oil change) at anything under about 15-20 F. Just sayin'.
Congrats on the car. .
