thanx to anyone thats willin to help a brotha out https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

well as far as oil I use Castrol GTX, now the argument on oil is lengthy, some say use synthetic, other say no, but in my mind since oil is getting put strait into the motor, it has to burn and a conventional oil will burn off better than a synthetic. For the rest of the drivetrain I use royal purple. And as far as injector cleaner if you are using an ethanol gas then definitly use a FI cleaner, as ethanol is sticky and can cause the fuel system to gum up. any other ques. feel free to ask and welcome aboard!

Tune up wise,

Change your fuel filter (MAZDA & FRAM works fine)

Change your spark plugs... only NGK's

Change your spark plug wires .. whatever you choose.. i recommend NGK or Jacobs



I heard ZMAX works good on rotaries. I personally use Castrol GTX 20-50 but I want to switch to royal purple. Only thing is I have an oil leak somewhere and it will only contribute to it more. As for your transmission fluid, look for REDLINE. I have never used any fuel injector because most products are designed for piston engines. GLuck

Check in the 2nd Gen Faq's section. There is a whole topic dedicated to maintanence and what to check and look out for.

well i'm learning some opinions in here my self so i think its cool i use a 10w30 cause i heard its a good breakin oil and thats what i wanted was to baby it and break the motor back in because i wasn't sure of the motors condition... but i'm switching to a royal purple 20w50 soon.

On the back of redline fluids, it says not to put in all transmissions because it may cause "gear clash". I have never heard of anything like that and would it be a problem in our trannies? I put mobil one in my tranny instead of the redline because of that statement. Any one have any comments on this?

there's a company called central petroleum. they've been in the oil biuesness since about the 1930's. i've got to look that date up but that's whats comming to mind. anyways, they only use 100% pure parrafin oil and it outperforms synthetic. it's cheaper too. been running their 20w50 for years. they've also got some fuel additives that you'll love if anyone is interested i'll get you a phone number. as far as running fuel injector cleaner, it's fine. injector cleaner is designed to burn in the combustion chamber and the Wankel is a combustion engine. enjoy your car man!

thanx for the info .....yeah since the breaks need to be pressure blead i got STP heavy duty break fluid...theres maddd pressure built up...i noticed how bad they were when i took it around the block lol...im lucky i stopped at all.....since its lighter and its gonna get colder soon.....i got prestone anti freeze and coolant....since the warning lights are goin off for these things other than fi cleaner and brake fliud





thanx again

ohhh yeah ...another thing....when it starts up it idles at around 1500 fora little then goes down to 1000....then goess back up to 1500 like its struggling to stay at a steady idle...the preious owner said that its most likely in the fuel line .....thats why i got the fi cleaner just to see wat happens....if anyone knows why this might be let me know



thanx

yeahh PBRX7.......if u can get me their site or a way to find some dealers ill definately get that...thanx https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif
