Rotaries burn oil, thats why using conventional oil in them AND actually keeping an eye on the level is key. The rotary was not meant for your average, beige Toyata owner to own, it was a specialized car that required an actual enthusiast owner to keep it alive. I am not a fan of the rotary at all but I know a few guys, feckin weirdos if you ask me

, that love the rotaries, swear by them even. The RX-7 to me is one of the most beautiful cars that Japan ever released, hands down, mine would have an LS swap in it for ease of usage.
