Intended Users:
Do-it-yourselfers and experienced mechanics.
Engine Type:
Rotary (Wankel)
Engine Code:
13B (Naturally Aspirated & Turbocharged variants likely covered)
Horsepower Range:
Approx. 145-200 hp depending on specific model and turbocharging (specifics in manual).
Torque Range:
Approx. 150-180 lb-ft depending on specific model and turbocharging (specifics in manual).
Fuel Delivery:
Fuel Injection (likely multi-point or similar).
Oil Type:
Specific rotary-specific engine oil recommended (details in manual).
Coolant Capacity:
Specific capacity detailed in manual (typically around 8-9 quarts).
Apex Seal Life:
Manual provides guidance on apex seal wear and replacement procedures, a critical aspect of rotary engines.
Oil Change:
Typically every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months, but specific rotary requirements detailed in manual.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Refer to manual for specific intervals and correct plug types for rotary engines.
Timing Belt Replacement:
The RX-7 FC uses a timing chain or gears for its rotary engine, not a belt. This listing is likely generalized. If the manual mentions a 'timing belt,' it refers to auxiliary systems or is a misnomer for rotary internal timing components/chain.
Engine Oil Type:
Specific Wankel engine oil (e.g., 10W-30 or 20W-50 depending on climate and engine condition) with proper additive package is crucial; refer to manual for precise specification and recommended brands.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Specifics in manual.
Transmission Fluid Manual:
GL-4 Gear Oil (e.g., 75W-90). Specific capacity and change interval in manual.
Transmission Fluid Automatic:
Dexron II or equivalent ATF. Specific capacity and change interval in manual.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Specifics in manual.
Rotary Specific:
Apex seal wear, rotor housing scoring, oil injection system maintenance (crucial for lubrication of apex seals), vacuum hose degradation, thermal management issues.
General:
Subframe rust, interior trim wear, electrical component reliability (typical for cars of this age).
