[QUOTE="Jerald, post: 2186817, member: 710425"] My RX-8 just recently stopped burning oil. I usually have to add almost a full bottle of Castrol GTX in between oil changes. It's been 1500 miles since the last oil change and I haven't burned any oil, at all. I've been driving the car very hard to in an effort to burn oil and it's just not happening. If I understand rotary engines, this is not good and my motor might be on it's way out :( I recently had an oil leak from the metering oil pump's washers and they were replaced. I don't think that that has too much to do with it because it wasn't burning any oil before the oil leak. The engine is under warranty for another 20,000 miles so I'm kinda hoping that the motor is on it's way out and I can get a replacement. I would appreciate any suggestions from people who have knowledge of rotary engines. Please do not post any answer if you don't know anything about ROTARY ENGINES. These engines are designed to burn oil, hence my question about why the engine is not burning any. [/QUOTE]
