I'm new to the forum..come from OZ, east coast north of Sydney.





Save me looking up threads has anyone SUPERCHRAGED an RX8...if so details please? I also have a new MPS (Mazdaspeed6) for me as the RX8 is for my wife...but if I suopercharge it man it's mine.



I just love the RX8 wanted one for years...driven just about everything worth driving and feel that the RX8 is the most intuitive car I've driven...brilliant!

Thanks I will be contacting them this week....just as aside , you talk about all synthetic fluids in your page footer...I have just had my first 1000km service for my 8 and the service manager told me that (quote) "...dinosaur lubricant..." was recommended by Mazda for the 8...no synthetic oil in the renesis as the seals need the old fashioned oil. I don't know these things but I would have thought that hi tech synthetic oil would be superior????

I'd be careful listening to the service manager's advice. A few are well-informed, but most are not. I've heard from several viable sources that synthetics are the way to go...the chief designer of the renesis even recommended synthetic at seven stock last year.



I've seen a noticeable difference in performance and fuel efficency with synthetics, but that can vary from car to car. To each his own I guess...

So much for advice ...what to do?
