Chaps,

I have just completed an interesting = experiment=20 with the volume of a couple of different rotors.

The RX8 rotor does in fact hold more = oil than it's=20 predecessors, as one expects from the Mazda blurb - between an old = rotor(=20 sorry don't know what it is) and the RX8 rotor, there is a 5.26 oz=20 difference.

Now that should aid in cooling, however = it does=20 increase the weight in the RX8 by that amount for balance purposes. It = could be=20 that they all vary slightly.

The oil capacity and therefore weigh is = well in=20 excess of my expectations and well in excess of what I had been advised = - so=20 much for the paid professionals.

Never believe anything you hear and = only half of=20 what you see.
