I have been using Mobile One 15-50 in the cars and the guy said a possible

the oil is too viscous at 65 degrees F!


What an idiot!  At twenty below I have full oil pressure in my cars in about 5 seconds, this with mobil 15-50.

When seeing one G or more in a racing car turn the stock Mazda rotary
oil pump is going to have a harder time of it as the pickup tube goes
off at a lateral angle. A dry sump system would work better IMHO.


Coming with the RX-8.
