What Is The Best Oil To Use For An 04 RX8?
I have heard so many different types work best, read so many different opinions....I am lost!

Can anyone help me figure out which oil is the best to use for the RX8?

I recommend A-1 for 2004-2006. After that I move up to Thousand Island Dressing for 2007-2009.

How many threads have you started that can be answered by searching?

Well... Here's an answer that I have come up with after searching. It is WD-40.

Since the 2004 is getting on in years I recommend a light monounsaturated oil, with high amounts of Omega fatty acids.
