I bought my Rx-8 a few weeks ago, day one did an oil change. And got air pump changed through dealer warranty, regular 102k mileage. So far it's just been the funnest thing to drive. I commute to school, about 200 miles weekly. And a full tank does it. So I'm not unhappy about gas I bought a 5 quart bottle of oil and i believe it'll be me through the 3k miles. (refilling) Getting on and off free ramps is just amazing in this car fell full control of it . Torque isn't all there but still okay. Coming from a Turboed vehicle car does seem a bit under powered. Thinking of Cat Back and drop in k&n filter to change exhaust noise and hopefully a little MPG increase. Just thought I could share my opinion and possibly help future Rx-8 owners. Greetings to everyone.

Where abouts in SoCal are you located? What kind of car did you have before?(you mentioned it was turbo'd, please don't see Dodge Neon..)

Nothing special about the car it's just the gray all oem everything hah. Well i figured if it's just a drop in k&n it wouldn't do harm. I mean people run k&n typhoons, aha. Previous car was an Eclipse GST. I modded it, 3in turbo exhaust, Evo turbo, boost controller ported o2 housings, manifold, all sorts of stuff. Was hanging in with the big bad Evo's. I am near the Inland Empire, of SoCal. Thanks for the welcome!

Eh, the filtering of the K&N filter is pretty terrible, plus the oil likes to be sucked onto the MAF.
Just my two cents, there is some thread around here that goes into detail about it.
