I am not too clued up about what oil codes mean, but I do know a fair bit about Rotary engines, so I'll give a few tips on prolonging their life.

First, rotary engines burn oil. That's just the way it is. Check your levels every two to three weeks. As I said, I'm not entirely sure what oil codes mean, but I would definitely put in a type of oil that would provide lubrication at high RPM. Also, synthetics are very bad because a rotary engine, just like a 2-stroke engine actually needs to burn off oil and synthetics resist being burned off. Some folks actually mix their oil with 2-stroke oil. Ask a specialist rotary performance shop about this.

Second, when they are revved to high RPMs the apex seals may damage the inside of the engine after a while. This damage is referred to as chatter marks. This is caused by carbon build-up (see the next point). To minimize this damage, you need to use an oil that will lubricate your engine sufficiently when revving as high as a rotary does.

Third, it is very important to rev the car to its limit at least once a week to burn off excess carbon build-up. Allow the car to warm up properly beforehand and cool down after. This is also a good idea for turbo owners. I don't know if it's *as* important in the RX8 as it was with the RX2 and RX7, but rather safe than sorry.

And finally, keep in mind that the rotary engine is a high-performance engine. It isn't intended to be used at slow speeds, crawling through traffic. Overheating a Rotary is VERY bad.
