Koji from XS engineering told me that it's generally bad to have anything over 70 on the knock reading. However, I have been told that the power FC readings from the commander are very inaccurate.

Rotary's consume oil when driven. It just depends on how much oil you are consuming that matters. Mazda says that 1 quart of oil for 1000 miles is ok. How many miles are on your existing motor and what mods do you have??
