I've enjoyed driving this Mazda RX-8 since 2013, initially using it as my everyday vehicle for the first year. It quickly transformed into our cherished weekend vehicle for family outings, thanks to its distinctive reverse-opening doors and cozy leather seating. Here's a glimpse into what owning this Mazda has been like, especially focusing on its rotary engine. I've always opted for traditional 5w-30 motor oil for engine care, which is crucial because the engine's oil injection system aims to extend its lifespan. The maintenance schedule has been strictly followed, with the coils and spark plugs replaced at 75,200 miles—keeping in mind that spark plugs should be swapped every 20,000 miles and coils at 40,000 miles. To aid in managing engine temperatures, I've installed a catless mid-pipe. A regular routine to reach high RPMs with each drive helps sidestep engine flooding. In 2019, we refreshed its look by repainting all panels forward of the doors, eliminating any signs of wear from the road.
The vehicle's only modifications are in its suspension system. It features progressive springs coupled with Koni yellow shocks, heavy-duty adjustable sway bars on both ends and white-line racing adjustable end links, with no alterations to the engine besides the mid-pipe. Driving this car is an absolute thrill, and it performs splendidly.
