Hi all, yeah had compression test !! All good on that front 👌will post some pics soon as I can figure out how to upload. I got a 2004 model needing a little tlc which is fine with me as I can put my own mark on it. But firstly I'm going over all the usual bits brakes, tyres changing oils etc etc. if anyone can help what's the best oil for an RX8 ? Away to change all filters and replace ALL fluids on car gearbox etc also I'm in UK so needing oils I can buy here unless it's nice and cheap to post from USA

There is always debate over what oil is best and wether or not to use synthetic. There are a number of threads on the forum discussing it and you will never get a straight answer out of anyone here, aside from the occasional check the owners manual. for an oil filter i go with the K&N filter HP-1008.

After some research here on the forums i went with Redline for my rear diff and tranny. heres a link that might be helpful https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-...acement-35115/
