Mazda RX 8 engine oil question
Discussion
Need to do an oil change on a 56 plate rx8, the higher horse power model, ( if that makes any difference ), trouble is, I've been getting conflicting stories about what type/grade of engine oil to use.
One says that a tech. bulletin was issued around 06/07 actuating that a 10W/30 mineral oil was to be used, but my local motor factors are saying that according to there tech. details the right oil is 0W/30 fully synthetic.
Any one know for sure the correct oil.
Also, how much oil is left in the oil coolers, and the best way of changing this at the same time, as I understand that a valve shuts off and doesn't allow any oil out of the coolers once the engine is switched off, ( of course I stand to be corrected ).
Thanx.
