Hello,

I am looking at a 93 Fd and the own said that all rotory engine burn oil. How much oil is used up between oil changes normally? Is this all true?

Thanks for your help guys

Russ

it is true, they are designed to do that. roughly 1/2 qt every 3000 miles

true, though I don't really have any oil loss between changes - every 1500 miles.

Awesome, thanks alot for your help guys

i seem to burn more oil than that i woudl say about a qt every 3000 miles.

probly depends on how hard it's being driven also

lol i lose that much oil from leaks around the pan and mounts. but ahem anyways yeah they burn oil from the factory.

Also depends on how tight the turbos are, how much oil they burn. I really never

had a problem with burning oil on my FD. Just check the oil atleast once a week, as you should with any car.

Awesome, I really appreciate the help guys. I am having some problems getting this rx though.... I have an Audi A4 now, and its awesome. Classy, AWD, 5spd.... the whole deal. And its REALLY reliable. I am not sure if I can deal with an FD while still at school. I mean i have all the resources in the world when I am home (lift, air tools, ect) But what am I getting into down the road. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks again for your time.

Take care of her, and she will take care of you https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

depends on what you do, if you get a stock one or a RX with a rebuilt engine and you do all of the relilablity mods you should be just fine. But once you start moding past that your goin to run into trouble.

Dude, I work, go to college, and just bought my FD last February. If you follow freemans advice and take care of her, she'll take care of you. I have had very minimal problems with mine, and she has 116,000 on the clock, and 31,000 on the engine.

Thanks alot guys I appreciate all of your time
