one man meat is another man poison....instead of asking so many questions..y dun u try it and let us know. for every oil out there...sure gt pl sae gd and gt ppl sae bad so is individuakl preference. 1 thing we all know is rotary cannot use syn oil except rotary syn oil but if u stubbornly wan to use royal purple, mobil1 etc...dun blame us when we laugh at ur blown engine. wahahahahahahahha I laugh in advance can?

hellangel

wha u damn mean lo lolz... eh bro... u go try and let us know la.. if i were u i juz go with the flow... if u wanna try something new... than let us know how is it...

gfoo

Lol. I'm using 20wt RE fully syn from MG - not bad so far. me gonna try premixing this weekend ....

mkl22

woohoo. join me in premixing. have tried quite a few 2T. i must say that castrol fully syn feels the best. the top of the line in SG. cost 16 per litre, use approx 120ml per tank. which works out to an additional 1.2-1.4L over 5000km. which seems to double the OMP output.

gfoo

mkl, a bit spooked from oldragger's fouled fuel filter - he says that premix was the likely cause. I'm gonna run 3oz of FP60 per fillup first

What's your experience with Castrol?

Bro,

U can laugh all you want I just want to have more alternative. No offense.

Most Rx8 in the states are using Royal Purple and no one reported engine problem. If Rx7 can use RP with no problems, I can't see why it can't work for Rx8. I know so bros here are using it. Please kindly share with us.

gfoo

muscle, i don't think coupem meant anything - just that prev got cases of RP users that had v rough idles and fouled plugs - and the cars were new, couple of months old nia.

to each his own lah

muscleman

Thanks, gfoo.

But can we use idemitsu mineral then?

hellangel

bro u have to rememer that our weather is alot diff from all the other countries.. unless u compare with malaysia...

CoupeM

I am not offended. I also know that many Americans are using RP with no isssue. As I point out, if you feel it can work then you use it. No need to ask anymore since you already read up all the different views. Why do you keep asking when you already fixed in your mind that it is ok? You mean you dun trust yourself????

blackjack

ok i used royal purple,idemitsu,RE amemiya,knight sports,shell helix,mobil 1,knife brand cooking oil,olive oil. fully syn, half syn and mineral, all is good, muscleman u can try either 1
hahaha

hellangel

eh bros, a quick question abt premixing... is it really ok? how abt the oil filter and fuel pump? will it go bust? wha if its good i also wanna try it leh... who is premixing it now ah? and whatz the effect u are getting?

mkl22

generally a bit smoother, than the other 2T. other than that i guess you'll be hard pressed to know the diff.

IMO, 10W40 is the best for our engine. It is not too thin or thick. I thought W20 is abit too thin??? The v rough idles may be due to using thin oil or the owner 'loot' the car too often. Just my view... Just wanted to share with Bros here that Royal Purple is good and affordable (more cost efficient).

muscleman

I will definitely try RP and will let your guys know. I just wanted to seek opinions from different bros here. My friend told me his friend had been using RP for the past three years on his RX8 and RX7 (previous ride) and commented that it is even better than Idemitsu. There is no complaints about RP in his RX8.

If any of the bros here want to get RP, I have lobangs (but I'm no sales agent for RP). Just wanted to share.

Just put in FP60 yesterday, shock dosage . after 1/4 tank of so, farkin amazing lor, car has never felt so energized or responsive. now onto 2nd full tank (drove alot today hunting for property)

just went to check my engine oil - where last time is was brownish, now totally pitch black - seems FP60 has gotten rid of a lot of carbon. gonna do servicing soon siah

hellangel

FP60 is what? FP40 is what?? bro if its good stuff let me know leh.. wha lan eh...

gfoo

travis - read about FP60 here http://www.lubecontrol.com/fuel.htm

I'll be writing a review, but now too soon - maybe from 3rd petrol fillup onwards. but the smoothness and 'butt' gain is noticeable - most importantly the consistency in performance is back. last time it was a case of heng suay whether the car performs tip top for the day - sometimes its sluggish, sometimes it wasn't. Now, 3rd day on, seems as the car is performing at its peak consistently

lawreo

Bro gfoo,
sounds good from the link
mind sharing the lobang and how to use it?
can PM me
thanks

Juz for info on engine oil choice.

Do use "ONLY" oil recommended for rotary engine oil. You do not wan2 replace ur engine like i do.

Even ur following oil change interval u won't know something is wrong, when my ngines gave way, only 1 rotor was powering my car, tat too came to grinding halt after a while !!!

For those who insist on using other engine oil, juz dun regret, n u r always welcome to my club of 13b breakers !

muscleman

What engine oil are you using that cause the breakdown? care to share.

gfoo

Muscle - Texas Revolution Titanium (www.texaslub.com) - a made in Singapore oil. coz of it, my radiator reserve tank also piang. luckily i used it for less than a couple of hundred km, then change to rotary oil.

when it comes to oil, dun be too adventurous, stick to tried and tested. You are lucky in that all the laochiaos here have done all the guinea-pigging in the early days, so when pple advise you, accept it humbly

gfoo

lawreo, do a google i think you can find a local source and contact details. Do some research first before you plunge in like i am doing - so far only been used in the US, some of them swear by it and have used it for 50k+ so to me this is a calculated risk, not plunging in blindly.

muscleman

gfoo Bro,

You mean you tested the Texas oil???
