I just got a 2007 Mazda RX-8 , I have a few questions about the car but I don’t know what awnser to believe.

1. Is the idle of a rx-8 a little vibrational? Because she starts up really smoothly it just sits at about 800 rpm and has a little vibration to her I’m not used to the constant vibration in a car but I read online that there is no linkage so the wheel is directly connected to the trans.


2-to premix or to not premix? Everyone has mixed feelings about this one as some people told me that they never premix and are still running very strongly and nothing has happened . Others are claiming your cars life depends on it since it lubricates the apex seals

3- when I turn her on do I slowly accelerate in park to about 3000 rpms? Or is that another common misconception?

Lastly I cannot upload a video of the engine in idle or the start of the engine but it needed I can provide you my email and send the video link to you! I just want to make sure this is how it’s supposed to sound. I’ve tried looking it up on YouTube but everything that comes up is like ones that have problems and all I typed was “rx-8 ,2007 idle”
