Ya I am going to use the 10w30 as soon as I find a dealer near me. I used to royal purple's site to find a place but the place was out of business. Right now I am using 10w30 Castrol GTX.

I use Castrol GTX 10w-40 but I've been looking at royal purple for my next oil change. Guess I'll have to check it out.

Good stuff, but not worth it if you ask me.
Especially for a Rotary

I use Royal Purple in my 3rd gen and won't use anything else now. Can I tell a difference, nope, it just gives me some peace of mind after talking to David Canitz (spelling might be wrong). It does seem to shift smoother with the royal purple fluid in the tranny.

Racing Beat sells it and they claim it is the first oil that they have tested that will actually increase HP.

Our local NAPA stores sell it here in Houston.

A few of us in the Houston RX-7 Club use it.
