Transmission Fluid:
GL-4 SAE 75W-90 gear oil is commonly specified. Capacity ~2.1 liters.
Differential Fluid:
API GL-5 SAE 80W-90 hypoid gear oil. Capacity ~1.3 liters.
Known Issues
Common Problems:
Apex seal wear (leading to compression loss), vacuum hose deterioration (causing boost leaks and driveability issues), ignition system issues (coil packs, wires), fuel injector clogging, and the need for meticulous maintenance due to the rotary engine's specific requirements.
Turbo Maintenance:
Proper warm-up and cool-down procedures are critical to turbocharger longevity. The sequential turbo system adds complexity.
