GENERAL RX7 FAQ'S
QUESTION: Can I use synthetic oils in my RX7?
ANSWER:
Yes and no. Mazda officially does not recommend the use
of synthetic oils in rotary engines, however, it has
long been proven that the better synthetics (Redline,
Amsoil, Neo, Royal Purple, Mobil1) are perfectly fine to
use in a rotary engine, and will generally result in a 1
to 2% horsepower gain. However use of poor quality
synthetics (like Valvoline, Castrol Syntec, Havoline,
Etc) will result in build up due to high ash content
left from these oils when they are burned. That is why
Mazda did not recommend synthetics, because they
couldn't pick favorites.
QUESTION:
My RX7 seems to use a lot of oil. How often do I need to
check it?
ANSWER:
Every time you get gas, you should check your oil level.
The Rotary motor by design is supposed to inject oil
into the engine based on throttle position. If you keep
your foot on the gas a lot, you will use more oil. It
is normal to use about 1 quart of oil every 1000 to 3000
miles.
QUESTION:
What is the unflooding procedure
for Rx-7's?
ANSWER:
1) Remove the Injector and
Ignition fuses from the box in the engine bay.
2) Crank motor for 5 seconds. wait 5 seconds.
3) Repeat #2 several times.
4) Place fuses back. start car.
