Yes, the Rotary Engine consumes oil. Most people add a quart of oil after 2,500-3,000 miles. I tend to add half a quart after 2000 miles and change my oil at 3000.

Also, it might not be such a good idea to run Royal Purple in your transmission since there are numerous reports of it destroying your synchros.

Use Redline MT-90 for your transmission, Redline 75w90 for Rear Diff

Engine oil use 5w40 Redline or 10w40.

I do NOT work for Redline.
