"billy" off the other forum and I were talking about that last night with a few other RX-7 guys. He mentioned that if you go 2-stroke... it doesn't feed oil... ah, and something else. I thought it was pretty interesting.

i generally dont like to feed my oil, rather i like to put it in my gas or in my crankcase......



if you are reffering to the fact that it doesnt inject it, it does, just does so through the fuel injectors rather than the oil injectors

I use Castrol 20W-50.... one its burns clean and i've never had any problems. With synth its a good idea if your racing the engine because of the vast temperatures that you put on your engine. The synth hold thier vescoity a lot better. But racing engine only need to last one race and any build up cause by the chemical doesn't matter. For the average rotary engine though build up is a fact of life. Carbon can be burned off with regular care and ATF autotrany fluid but syth chemcail build up may not be the same story. I've never seem an egine that was in a need of a rebuild becuase of synth oil use. But I know 100% that if you use 20W-50 all you have to worry about is the Carbon.

You'll need to 4 to 5, just check the dipstick after 4.

i am a person who uses different oil also. So many people have said not to use 10W-40 but ive used it for about 40,000 miles and havent ever had a problem..and its not hurting the motor at all. I just recently had a compression test done and i hit 90 all the way acroos the board...no dips ....so is using 10W-40 all that bad because 20W-50 seems a little think to be runnung ..wouldnt burn as good i wouldnt think...Can anyone tell me why they say its better to run that?
