just thinking, now i'm using castrol magnatec semi syntetic on my 13B-rew. i got no tappets, no cams, no pistons, no timing belt, so, isit ok for me to use this product? btw, what is the advantages or disadvantages if i use this product on my car.
thanks!
 
aiM,

Mazda officials always recommend mineral oil NOT synthetic due to the engine design. You might want to take note of that.

Cheers
 
errr... so cannot use syntetic oil??? but why renesis engine recomend syntetic oil?
 
i use semi synthetic with good results. I intend to go fully syn after my rebuild. Oil technology has advanced tremendoulsy so the ash content has reduced.

phat7,

Which semi syn brand are u using?
 
Mr. Franklin Reick was checked on his opinion on the use of Tufoil in rotary engines.

Despite the lowered engine friction that may take place, Reick says that he would not really encourage rotary owners to use Tufoil. According to him, in such engine designs, oil and fuel are squirted into the cylinders to be combusted. Apologies for the earlier inaccurate opinion.Hope this is a useful tip for all.
