BR, Dave McC I seems to me that since the RX-8 rotor is about the same external shape and is lighter, that the added internal volume (less iron) would be larger, so, more oil.

I seems to me that since the RX-8 rotor is about the same external shap= e=20 and is lighter, that the added internal volume (less iron) would be larger,=20= so,=20 more oil.

The thinner walls would cool better yes?
