I just changed oil (for the first time) and considered changing to Mobil

1 until

I saw the price ($4.50/qt vs. $0.99 for Discount Autopart's).

Is it really worth it? What's the advantage.

One thing I should mention. The oil I drained (after maybe 40 hours on the

engine) was dark (black). I didn't think there'd by any blow-by in a rotary?

I would bite the economic bullet and use Mobil 1. Way better than regular oil

in resisting break down at high temp. You can get get it in Walmart by the

case for less than $4.50/qt I think.

Interesting on that dark black. How is your compression?
Was that the cheap  $0.99 oil? Did you lap those end housings?
