Ok I just got the new issue of RXtuner and saw an add for this oil i was just wondering if anyone is running it in thier 7, and how it comares to other oils on the market?

I haven't seen any direct comparisons between Idemitsu full synthetic and other motor oils myself. It has just become more available here in the US, and I'm sure more information will trickle in as engines become torn apart after using it. However, Mazda has worked extensively with Idemitsu in the development of these lubricants and I trust in their knowledge to know what is best for the rotaries. It is a synthetic oil, so oil changes would not have to be as frequent.

You can get it at RotorSports Racing. The number is 704-933-6222 and more information is at http://www.rotorsportsracing.com/per...g/idemitsu.htm. It's pretty much the same information on the Idemitsu site. But you can order it by the quart or by the case.

 

Rotary Performance (rx7.com) also sells it.

 

I'm about to start running it as my friend's shop (Japtrix) is now going to be carrying it.

 

They use it also

 

if you're changing it during normal intervals (3k miles or whatever) I doubt it'll be more beneficial than a good synthetic or good mineral based
if people are using their oil for prolonged periods...prbly better but again, I doubt it would be much better than a good synthetic

 

Dunno about that one. If it is specially formulated to work with the MOP and not leave deposits behind, then it has a leg up on the competition.

As per Ari/Chris, Ken Scheepers used it on his 10 sec all motor peri port drag car with outstanding results.

I plan on ordering up a case of 10w30 for winter use.

 

^^^^^^^^^
yeah but if you're not using the MOP, prbly isn't much diff IMO

of course this is all speculation
I plan on switching to synthetic when I put in a new engine

 

Synthetic lowers engine temps a solid 10 deg F across the board, I have seen it firsthand. There's your difference

 

well if you're not using the omp....then how bout their 2 stroke oil?? haha, guess they have all the bases covered huh
