Rotary Engine Specifics:
In-depth knowledge on apex seal wear, oil metering, and rotor housing condition
Oil Change Rotary:
Frequent oil changes are critical for apex seal lubrication; often recommended every 3,000 miles or 3 months.
Spark Plugs:
Platinum or iridium plugs, typically replaced at 30,000-60,000 mile intervals, depending on plug type and driving conditions.
Air Filter:
Check every 15,000 miles, replace as needed.
Coolant Flush:
Every 30,000 miles or 2 years.
Engine Oil Rotary:
Mazda RX-7 Rotary Engine Oil (e.g., Castrol RX Super 2T or equivalent API SG/SH, SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40) - critical for apex seal lubrication.
Coolant:
Mazda FL22 Long Life Coolant or equivalent ethylene glycol-based coolant, mixed 50/50 with distilled water.
Transmission Fluid Manual:
API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil, SAE 75W-90 recommended. Capacity approx. 2.1L.
Differential Fluid:
API GL-5 gear oil, SAE 80W-90. Capacity approx. 1.2L.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Apex Seal Wear:
The most notorious issue; premature wear can lead to loss of compression. Proper maintenance and avoiding detonation are key.
Oil Metering System:
The automatic oil injection system can sometimes fail or be bypassed, leading to insufficient lubrication.
Sequential Turbo Failure:
Issues with the vacuum lines, solenoids, or wastegates of the twin-turbo system can cause loss of boost or improper operation.
Cooling System Overheating:
Original radiators can degrade; ensuring proper coolant flow and fan operation is vital.
Vacuum Lines:
Aging rubber vacuum lines can crack and leak, affecting engine performance and boost control.
