"Shhh, trying to hijack thread"
Whatever, dood. If you're going to post something as definitive as "dino oil is the best for rotaries", there will be someone else posting their own take on the subject. So yeah, I've made up my mind. Others should do the same. They shouldn't do it based on just YOUR post. They should do it based on just MY post! 
BTW, is Teddy still here or Max? Is XS Engineering still in business? I am sure Dynamic is still doing awesome. It has been a long time since I was here last.
Anyone interested in karting?

It's great stuff and I use it. But if you're like most americans stuck on 3000 mile oil changes, I wouldn't pay so much for oil. I'd go non-synthetic. The manual recommends every 7500 and that's on cheap oil.
Check the 2nd generation section FAQ for more info and other options. If you still want to learn more then search the forums. You really should do that before asking such a basic question.

FWIW, I use it in my FB. I've never changed it in 6 yrs. It changes itself, if you know what I mean. I change the oil filter every 2500 miles. Thats it. I use 5-30. No problems. It does smell different from dino though at the tail pipe.
IF SO HOW MUCH SHOULD I PUT??

You could've just said "do a search, noob!"

Depends. Which Teddy and which Max?
Here's a good place to find out: www.google.com
hah! In all seriousness, I don't know. I thought they went under, but I could be thinking of something else. If they're gone, who does RRR use for tuning now?
Nope, but thanks for asking.
you really should search, but i'll give you my opinion.
I do use Royal Purple in all my cars. Its proven to gain a small hp amount. Its proven to last much longer than 3000 miles. I have seen several tests that showed Royal Purple working smoother, quieter, and handling more load than other oils. The only oil that could compete at its level in those tests is Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil, which has gone up in price as well for 1 qt. Redline and Idemitsu wasn't in any of those tests, so I can't speak for those. Royal Purple and Idemitsu is recommended by a lot of tuners such as racing beat, mazdaspeed, mazdatrix, etc. I, however, change the oil every 2500-3000 miles, just because I like it super clean with fresh oil. Also, I recommend going premix if you are going to use synthetic. Although, Royal Purple has clamed it is ok with the MOP but recommend using their premix for extra safety and cleaner burning. I used Royal Purple for a year with the MOP on my old 91 t2, and it ran fine. Right now, I am on Premix on my 89 t2, Royal Purple is expensive, but I don't do cheap on my cars. Its up to you though.

just tell the noob to do a search. I can't believe people are still asking about synthetic in rotaries.
