Engine oil IDEMITSU or Motorcraft
Reviews
I use Idemitsu Wankel Racing Oil. 10w30, I think.
Pros: Wankel Racing Oil
Vehicle:
Mazda
Idemitsu all day. It’s synthetic but what needs to be emphasized is the ingredient blend is purpose designed for a rotary to make the right lube + burn.
Pros: purpose designed for rotary
I've been running that exact oil in my rx8 for about 1k km now and its still as smooth as ever
Pros: still as smooth as ever
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 1000 km
i am of the mindset of using oil from the region. my GTI is a german car and gets liquimoly, a german oil. my toyota/subaru is Japanese, Idemitsu is a japanese oil (and the oem supplier for Subaru). i have 5w30 in it now.
Pros: using oil from region
Vehicle:
Toyota
I've been running Idemitsu oil in the XT and the wife's Crosstrek for the last four and five years and have been happy with it.
Pros: happy with it
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I ran motorcraft for like 70,000km's and switched to amsoil 5w50 after that.
Mileage: 70000 km
You’ll be fine, idemitsu is a bit of a rotary specialist when it comes to fluids
Vehicle:
Mazda
I think Idemitsu is the better option if you have access to it. Mostly because it was developed for the rotary engine.
Pros: developed for rotary engine
Cons: hard to find
I’m using Motorcraft 5W-20 Synthetic Blend in all my Panthers with 2500 mile change interval and no issues.
Pros: no issues, easy changes
Mileage: 2500 km
Idemitsu to both, because it’s designed and tested on rotaries.
Pros: designed for rotaries
