So i got a compression test..

And it went ****** awesome. I got it at Rotary Extreme, and i got like 9.5s and 9.3s on all 3 faces of my rotors on both rotors, and i was overwelmingly surprised about it since my engine is near 100,000 miles. And i was so happy about it i decided to post it up

Dam Daw! Tell us the type of oil you use and mileage between changes, petro type driven habits. We need to know your secrets.

Hahah secrets? wow i didn't know i had any but if you were serious...
i just use Castrol 20w50 for summer
10w30 for winter. I usually do change it about every 2000miles or if it doesn't reach 2000 i ususally change it about every 3 months. Also i check the oil level everytime i fuel up (octane 87)
Change the spark plugs every other oil change (NGK brand)
As for driving habits i redline it daily which is fun. =D
I guess thats all i do, nothing special, i just keep it maintained very well.
also i burned a honda engine so that made the rotary god smile.

The car pulls great, nice and strong =D Also there was never a rebuild, its the original motor, the guy i bought it from took real good care of it. The compression test cost me about 40 bucks.

The compression gauge was the Lightning Rotors Compression Tester ( http://mazdatrix.com/toolmisc.htm ). And i believe the rpms were way above 250rpms some thing like 270rpms, i don't recall, i was over shadowed by my happiness haha. Should of gotten a picture. ****
