Hey Jax owners, new '04 RX8 owner here.
I've had my ride for a few months now, and it's time for the 41K oil change. Where do you recommend - or not recommend - I get an oil change, and what oil do you find works best here in the hot south? Right now it has a synthetic blend 5W/30 from the previous owner.

 

Change it yourself. That's the best way.

 

Allright, I'll try again.
Anybody have any advice on a good place to get my oil changed in Jax?

 

I also say change it yourself but oil well you "technically" are not supposed to use any synthetic(many ppl do lets not start this up again)

 

I had it changed at Tire Kingdom by this forum's very own Adam, aka Risky Business. Many thanks for looking out for me, Adam!

 

always glad to work on 8's!

 

Yeah, change it yourself.

 

already changed!!! that was easy!

 

i usually do it myself knowing that i dont trust those shop guys... but having another rx8 member is always just as good.... btw, which tire kingdom does he work in?..

 

The one in Ponte Vedra, just south of Palm Valley Rd. on A1A. It's behind Bogey's sports bar.

 

yeah, that does sound cool. I wouldn't mind taking my 8 to a local shop for an oil change if I knew one of the guys that worked there, or we had something in common.

No harm, no foul. I'm actually jealous now!

 

should we have a oil change meet or somthing? tom bush changes mine less than
30 bucks and i get to look at all the nice mazdas and bimmers...

 

yeah i do my own even though my maintenance crew at my apt complex dont' like it i still do it haha
