have both of them go to mazda and tell them to replace their rotor seals they had a problem with them
they fixed them now no more oil burn


they havent released the details yet but this thing might be a hydrogen/gas hybrid like the new RX8 is going to be next year

oh and FURAI means the sound of the wind

A well known issue with engine flooding. You'd think Mazda would have made sure it was sorted out before production.....what with all the FD reliability problems and all.

They do drink a lot of oil....but as a Porsche owner that doesn't even make me blink.

I love that BTW. A fuel injected car in this millennium, and they STILL find a way to bring back problems from old carbureted cars. Except the old ones would eventually clear themselves out.

Rotor apex seals

I thought their story was that the whole reason for the 13B Renesis was to fix that.

News flash to Mazda: If you put a flexible material seal next to petroleum and heat, they will deteriorate.

Don't dare mention this on an RX8 or Mazda site! You will be sternly taken to task for thinking that such a remarkable car can be bound by conventional expectations of maintenance.
