you must not like awsome cars

Re: Mazda RX-8
 

from what I understands these are slow coming off the line, so obv huge beat for this car

Re: Mazda RX-8
 

I almost bought a used one a while back. It had a sweet body kit on it and everything. But then I learned that it had a rotary engine which meant that oil had to be changed every 1k miles or so. But I don't find they look bad at all.

Seriously, the shape of the car looks a wang.

Actually, this reminds me of a Family Guy episode where Peter is driving a car that looks like a pen!s while going into a tunnel.

Man I love Family Guy.

Ding Ding Ding! Mazda's rotary engine was the reason for the company's recall after it was found that some Mazda RX8s had engines that were leaking oil. And in the process, the oil that leaked out was damaging the vehicle’s catalytic converters.

This isn't exactly true. Oil only needs to be changed about every 8,000 miles. You may need to add a couple of quarts in between oil changes.

Because it burns oil and you need to add a couple of quarts the recommended oil change is 8K. Maybe this will explain it better. We have injection molding machines in our facility. Some of them leak oil very badly. We do not get the oil sampled on these machines because they pretty much have their oil changed every year anyway (results of samples determine if we change the oil). Same principle.

Interesting. I wonder why I these people told me I would have to change the oil every 1k miles.

They may have meant "check " it every 1K

Re: Mazda RX-8
 

Plenty of these rotary engines stall when you try to start them warm... waiting aroudn for your car to cool off so you can start it is a huge beat, so i bought a 350z instead.
