joking by the way, check your oil level on the dip stick you are prob. low.

But I don\'t know what\'s the oil used before? Can I put a new oil inside?

And what brand oil is good for RX7 or how about your car situation?

Thx:D

Yes some oil might be a good idea :) lol

When was the last time you topped it up ? Its something you should check weekly......

Do you know where the oil goes ?

The grade of oil you shold use is mineral fro 5/40 to 15/50 during the summer months.

You should check the oil level every other fill up of petrol.

 You seriously need to check you oil regularly as the rotary burns oil as part of its combustion process so it burns a lot more than your conventional position engine, so you dont ever want to see a low oil warning ! ;)

Best bet would be is get the oil change done at a local garage or something, I tend to go to halfords and buy the

Castrol GTX mineral oil 15w/40 and get a new oil filter from Mazda (or a halfords one will do)

I change the oil about every 2000miles (I know I am picky) :)
