Right.. don\'t judge me on this first one.. haha.. but does the Oil get poured into the same hole that has the little dip stick in it?..
second question.. How come yesterday i could see items for sale on the main forum but now i can\'t seem to see anything? I know i definetly seen it as i was looking some spoilers for sale.. now i can\'t a thing.. :(
EDIT - Why the hell do i always spell the headers wrong?.. especially on a thread like this! hahaha...
u can try pouring oil in the dipstick hole.. good luck if you do lol otherwise theres a big black cap about 30 cm from the dipstick if u imagin a line from the dipstick towards the driver front light.
(i know im crap at explaining lol)
I can\'t believe I\'m an answering a techincal thread!
Answer to first question - no! There should be a bigger cap with an oil symbol on it. I only know where the RX-8 ones are so that\'s probably not much help.
Second question - do you mean you can\'t see the for sale forum on the main page or do you mean you can\'t see some threads? As a guest you won\'t see for sale items immediately but you should be able to view the threads here (http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3)
haha awesome! no i get it.. thanks alot dude! any idea about why i could see sale items yesterday but not today?
Err the oil goes in the filler cap on the top right of the engine (looking from the front of the car) It should be a black cap with an oil can picture on it. As for the for sale section im not sure are you sure you are looking in the right sub section?

Yeah i can see them prefect! Thank you very much! It\'s just a shame the spoiler i wanted isn\'t for sale now.. :(
Hope it wasn\'t me who has dissapointed u :(
Ha ha.. did you get the rare one from Pete?
Yeah, the cool rare black 1 in primer gray that looks like its off a skyline lol
haha damn you! Got any pics of it on your car??..
Reminds me of when i used to work at a ten pin bowling center and a girl asks me "do you know anything about bowling then" ?
Not the brightest spark i tell you bearing in mind my name was on the notice board as holding the house record at the time :Hammer
I used to like it when I worked at Asda and people would come up to me and ask "Do you work here?" very time I wanted to reply with " No I just like to fit in so I dress like this you stupid blind ugly mother f****r!" I mean seriously who wears a bright green waist coat and a name badge with happy to frickin help on it unless they work at Asda!

Always professed from day one of MRC that there is no such thing as a stupid question on this club , the only stupid question is the one you don\'t ask that then costs money, aggro or both
That\'ll be most questions you don\'t ask about these cars then Clive aye!
Thank you very much Clive. This is a great forum you have here! Everyone is very helpful and down to earth. :) Once i get some bits and bobs for the car and im back on my feet i\'ll need to become a full member.
Good man. It\'s worth it in a lot of ways.
As a tip, when you do fill the oil, make sure:
*) to pour just a little in at a time
*) check the dipstick carefully after adding each little bit
*) leave a few seconds before checking, to let the oil level equalise
and don\'t do what i did, which is pour in a couple of litres, and then find you\'ve totally overfilled it and have to call the RAC out :Hammer
And you really will need to check the dipstick carefully - mines just been overfilled again, despite me having an RAC engineer with me whilst I was doing the oil (he was fitting a car alarm, but he agreed to watch the dipstick for me, and check i was doing it right :)) - checked once, it was below full - add a mouthful (or what would be a mouthful if you was willing to pour it into your mouth!) - and it suddenly jumped a couple of inches up the stick - engineer said he\'d never seen it do that before :3Confused
So - mines going on a truck to be taken for a checkup in the next day or so... Just hoping I can sort it before the weekend!
awww man thats not so good.. thanks for the tips anyways! I checked the oil yesterday and there seems to be an XXX marking on the stick.. the oil is sitting perfectly in the middle of the middle X. i take it thats where it should be?
if you do over fill dont start the engine just undo the sump plug bolt and drain some out no need for rac
Alas, it turns out the lease for where i live explicitly prohibits working on the car... to the level of not being allowed to wash it on site! Given that I\'m still getting grief for the last time I had the RAC in to look at it, it has to be the RAC flatbed and a local garage :2Mad
