Tell your "friend" he's a ****** idiot. You dumbasses blow your engine using nitrous then you expect Mazda to pick up the tab?... which in turn 1) raises the price of extended warranties 2) Forces manufacturers to shorten warranty periods 3) lowers the reliability rate and 4) lowers resale value.
You broke it, you fix it.

He's probably experiencing fuel dilution, which is normal in rotary engines - especially ones running more hp than NA. Tell him to change his oil more often.

Takes one to know one so there!
I've got the Zex system installed so I'm interested in how this turns out. That being said I may not have a high post count but I lurk a lot. I don't recall coming across any threads that mention fuel in the oil
Have you tried changing the oil?
My limited experience with 2 stroke motors reminds me that often the crank case would fill with fuel if you flooded the motor (again and again and again). Have you experience starting issues?
Compression test?
Is it the Zex wet system perhaps something is wrong with the fuel solenoid not shutting off? Ray where are you???
Just some ideas....

motor flush!
You need to change the oil again.
We have around 6 quarts. You can only get about 5 changed.
The rest is in the lines and oil coolers.
Change it again. I wonder if that flush is ok for the Apex seals.

Some members of this forum believe that a renesis cannot fuel dilute the oil supply. I am not one of them.
Change the oil with cheap walmart oil, run it half an hour, then drain and change again. Then monitor the dipstick over the next little while (1000-1500 miles) for both level and smell.

Have to agree here. After doing water treatments I always find water in the oil in the form of milky froth as is known to accumulate during the winter months and general condensation. This is always done immediately before an oil change, and from now on probably a double changes as outlined by RR above.

I had serious fuel dilution problems bc I live less than 2 miles from work, now I just warm the car up as much as possible first, not as *much* of a problem now, but I still get a little bit. It smelled very rich w/ raw fuel when I changed it last time. I changed my habits a little and hope the next oil change goes better.
