Type of Oil for Rotary Engine
#31
Most mechanics that arent too experienced with rotaries are impressed with how well a high mileage running rx-7 runs... they are just such smooth engines it can be surprising to those not familiar with it. When I used to visit the muffler shop I worked at a long *** time ago in my 7 to do an oil change or get tires put on it the mechanics wouldnt believe it was a 100k mostly stock NA car.... especially when I left two equal length long *** patches accross the lot (they didnt know it had LSD either)... I tried my best to educate them on the mysteries which rested under the hood but strangely most of them preferred to stay ignorant, mechanics are weird... I guess they didnt like the lack of a valvetrain.

What Exactly are the advantages to running no Oil Metering Pump (OMP) & premix vs. having one and using the engine as it was originally designed?...also how exacyly do you premix?
premix=
1) don't have to worry about not getting oil to the apex seals
2)cleaner engine (burns cleanly and completly) no carbon buildup!!!
3) u can run synthetic in the crankcase w/o worry about does it burn completly since it won't be burned
4) smoother running
5) inconvient for average ****.
to premix u just through in some 2 stoke oil before everyfill 1oz per gallon if not running the OMP
