I got sick of this not being readily available online so I decided to do something about it. Below is a link to the entire RX8 Factory Service manual in PDF format.

A search for the manual would have given people results too (I thought that was your line nycgps) ![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I searched the titles for Service Manual under the Tech section and got 14 results!
Its funny that we see this a few times a year and people post something like, "OH MY GOD... I never knew you could download that!"
Would be nice if we could legally sticky the manual here.....

Downloaded this at least two years ago. You'd be surprised at all the stuff I have in my RX8 directory and sub-directories! Hopefully everyone running across this will do the same!

yeah as nycgps states that is copyrighted material you are distributing without permission. so if you want mazda to find out about it i suppose you could just leave it up or you could delete this thread. we wont be putting it in the stickies or in any other way promoting it.

According to the PDF itself, it is "copy protected" not copyrighted. This "copy protection" allows for both printing, and high quality printing. but forbids copying information out of the PDF and into another file.
Furthermore, nowhere in the PDF's do they say they cannot be distributed. If Mazda wants to argue I can't distribute it, they need to tell me in the first place not after the fact, the PDF format does allow for watermarking, copyright notices, and other methods of notifying a user that the information contained within is restricted.
If Mazda would like me to take it down, They can PM me and I'll give them an address to file a DMCA takedown notice to.

Not long ago, I d/l a rx-8 service manual web app. It's amazing. From how to replace a Renesis to step by step PDI. there is no way the dealership would've gotten through all the required steps in PDI!
