Engine oil ZIC or IDEMITSU
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
Been using it for several years already and very popular brand na sya ngayon since anak ni Lucio Tan ang distributor.
Use their X7 if you plan to change oil every 6 months. Use X7000 for yearly changes.
Pros: popular brand, longer use
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
Used zic for several years with no issues. This year lang ako nagpalit ng ibang brand since nagmahal na zic dun sa suking auto supply ko.
Pros: no issues experienced
Cons: price increased
I’ve been using zic oil for 6 years now. Ok naman I did not experience any issue.
Pros: no issues experienced
Idemitsu to both, because it’s designed and tested on rotaries.
Pros: designed for rotaries
