erol_h Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 My friend owns a rx8 and was thinking of servicing the car himself has any one had any experience with these as i heard it is more tricky because of the rotary engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 i cant see why they be tricky to service. Oil and filter is pretty straight forward just the plugs are in a big of an awkward place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I've not done this myself but he needs to be very careful of the oil he uses! Think it is like a mineral light oil? Get him to read up on this! Only thing though a lot of rotory engine buyers like to see solid proof that service has been carried out, this hugely effects re-sale. They are not the most robust engine so when buyin SH is well relied on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonT Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Might be worth having a word with Muffleman or Dude as Matt has one but I'm sure they both know what they are talking about with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
