Sorry, but this isn't true... I had 2 Rx8 in the last 4 years whom both ran on Grade V synthetic oil (Royal Purple) without any kind of issues. However, rotary engine (and their ?&*" catalytic systems) canno't burn all types of synthetic oil (ex. Mobil 1 isnt made for rotarys due to additives)....

Re: "...(sic) enfgine failure..." The last time I was contacted to help with an engine failure was due to a stalled engine. I checked the oil level and found none on the dipstick. Attempts to rotate the crankshaft failed--the engine had seized due to no oil pressure/lubrication==>>it was a Toyota 2TC--as indestructible an engine ever built--the owner was, literally, handicapped, and should not have been driving the vehicle.
.....Re: "...put Whatever in the (sic) car..."; I have a Saturn I want to sell only to you, Modshack. I drained the oil and coolant, forced dirt into the oil fill port, put a brick on the accelerator pedal, and ran the engine bouncing off of the limiter for several minutes. The engine did not seize. We had to shut it down because we had to return to work (Saturn testing facility in North America ;-)
.....Maybe your "...put whatever you want in the car..." is correct and accurate and valid ;-) Personally, I use dirt! The car mentioned above was crushed. Greg

Modshack's comment clearly was intended to persuade people to fill their cars with dirt instead of synthetic oil....

Well he said oil issues, not lack of oil issues.
