I forget if it was Car And Driver or Road and Track , they mentioned that they have a thirst for motor oil and that it's normal , so if you don't mind carrying motor oil in your trunk ............ and the puny torque / lbs

Gotta think that a lot of naive owners about the oil issue will be selling ..... what about those who ran their engines dry not knowing ... that's why I didn't buy one .... instead a 6

Using motor oil has never been an issue with RX owners. They rarely use a quart or so between oil changes so its not like you have to have a case of oil in the back. If you have not driven an 8 then you missed out because they accel great and don't quit when you reach the point when YOU want to back off the throttle.
