RX-8 rotary engine

precautions

Check engine oil level when refueling

Rotary engine design uses an oil

injection system in addition to

lubrication of internal parts

It is important to maintain

proper oil level

1. Engine oil filler cap

SAE 5W-20

Remove engine cover (12) to

access engine oil dipstick and

oil filler cap

2. Automatic transmission

fluid dipstick*

Check with engine on at

operating temperature; fluid

level should be within cross-

hatched area/between top two

notches on dipstick

3. Brake/Clutch* fluid reservoir

Fill to MAX mark with DOT 3

fluid; check with cap on

4. Battery

5. Fuse block

6. Air filter

7. Hood support rod

8. Hood latch

Push hood latch to the left,

open hood

9. Engine coolant reservoir

Level should be between F and

L lines when cold

WARNING: Never remove

coolant reserve tank cap

while engine is running or

hot; you could get burned

10. Engine oil dipstick

Check with engine off and at

operating temperature; fluid

level should be between F and

L marks on dipstick

11. Windshield washer

reservoir

Fill with windshield

washer fluid

12. Engine cover

Break-in period

First 600 miles: Drive at varying

road and engine speeds; avoid

full throttle, rapid acceleration

or kick-down of transmission

Do not use special “break-in” oils

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

ABS automatically reduces

hydraulic pressure to any wheel

on the verge of locking up

You may feel a slight pulsing of

the brake pedal and hear a

clicking noise; this tells you the

ABS is functioning properly;

increase pressure on pedal for

maximum braking

Tips: Maintain constant

pressure on the brake pedal

Do not pump the brakes

ABS self test

A self-diagnostic test is performed

when starting; you may feel some

brake pedal pulsation and hear

some noise, this is normal

Unique driving conditions

inspect coolant level, lights, brake/
