Hey Paul! Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the club. The RX8 is a breed unto it's own, along w/RX7's, but I would recommend following what the owners manual suggests to do. You can't go wrong that way and this is especially true if the car is new, and/or still under warranty.

for the oil; this generally brings up a lot of controversy. just to play it safe, i would only put conventional oil in it. i use 10w-40 castrol gtx in my rotary and it works just fine. some people will tell you that 10w-40 is too heavy, some will tell you that it is too low weight. people will tell you never to use synthetics, some will say that it is fine. i am just saying what is 100% proven in my car.
