Search, Search, Search

Synthetic = bad for rotary because ...

Mazda fucked themselves up by using cheap seals 30 something years ago. Synthetic oil ate those seals alive, it cost Mazda "tons of money" to replace the part because it was Mazda's fault to use the cheapest crap that they can find at that time.

So there u go, a Myth has been going and going and still exist today.

Carbon came from Synthetic? Sorrrrrry but Im 99.9999% sure that I can just go out and pull any engine that use nothing but Dino right now and still see the same carbon inside. its mostly crap from gas, not engine oil.

You are scaring people just saying that.

And I don't know how many times you will type that before you are tired....

I think I've seen you say that like 20 times already... the information is there.. people must learn themselves!

I also know that for some reason, I dont know, some ppl are probably blind or something. they just "can't" see the info that they "don't" want to see.

So Im just gonna keep repeating it until ... the end of days ?

dunno, I think Idemitsu and Marvel Mystery Oil are the most popular. MMO has some cleaning properties too, where Idemitsu is only a lube. So I throw in a little FP+ with Idemitsu, but MMO takes care of that all on its own.

Probly not critically important, but it is supposed to act as a fuel stabilizer too, and claims to yield a minor bonus to MPG (dunno if anyone actually saw a mileage improvement though). If you do the periodic Mazda Zoom-Power Engine cleaning that we're supposed to do every once in a while, I don't think detergents are mandatory.
