I'm using mannol extreme 5 W 40, very good price quality.
I'm seeing a lot of strife around these comment parts on this post; but I will tell you this: If previous owner used only conventional, you best use conventional for the sake of the rubber seals on the block. If you want to eventually run synthetic after your first rebuild, be my guest, although I would recommend going the sohn adapter at that point, just for extra insurance that what you're doing is good for the engine.
I don't know where you're located, but I've personally ran Castrol GTX oil in all my cars up until now; the only thing is, it's harder and harder to find conventional oil that is of thinner grades. Which isn't a bad thing, because the RX8 needs thicker oil than what's on the oil cap anyway! 5w-30 should be your minimum thickness, but really, it's recommended you go thicker, to like 10w-40 for year-round, and 20w-50 for track days or extremely hot climates. There's this shell oil for diesel that's rated at 15w-40 that I was going to potentially pick up and start using. Yeah your fuel economy is gonna drop a tad, but you're really doing it for the sake of your bearings.
P.S. get an oil catch can that vents to atmosphere if legal in your area. It will save you heaps of headaches down the road ????
Castrol magnetic 5w30 best utk jimat petrol
Öl von Mannol (mein Favorit) 10l 5w40 35€
Mannol hat hohe Qualität und trotzdem noch sehr günstig.
Jelenleg 21 éves Hondába használom a 0w20 Mannol Legend Ultra verziót, aszonta a szerelő, hogy hülye vagyok, csipegetni fogja, tegyek bele vastag olajat - és mutat valami 120 literes hordóra 10w40 felirattal. Nem kértem. Nem csipegeti, 0.5 liter fogy két olajcsere között. 11 olajcsere után mondom ezt, 100.000 kilométer óta használom.
Én mannol-t raktam a Volvo-mba amikor legutóbb olajat cseréltem. Kifejezetten Volvo specifikus olaj, nem vettem észre, hogy ne szeretné az autó.
Vagy 10 ève azt rakom az autómba, elötte próbáltam gm gyári olajat, de eszegette, aztán castrolt, de az is fogyogatott, ugyan olyan spec mannolt meg csak annyira eszi ami még normális. Szóval én tudom ajánlani.
Mannol is a legit brand. Although not as critically acclaimed like Liquimoly, Rowe, Fuchs, Addinol, or Ravenol. Probably on par with Voltronic.
Today I changed my engine oil to castrol power1 Cruise 15w-50 with TVS engine oil additive. Post that my engine starts to vibrate at bit early rpm & getting hot more quickly & frequently.
