How many miles are on your RX-8 New Yorker?

I'm thinking about eliminating and hydro-carbon recirculation systems on the motor and possibly running 10w-30 instead of 5w-30 non-synthetic. What are your thoughts on this?

Did u have a cobb access port to get a higher oil injection rate?

Any one else think its interesting that the 09 and up models have more oil injecters? Has one of those blown yet?
