I want to put new plugs and wires in my RX8 but im not sure what to do? Ive been looking around at which ones are best but a few things said the factory ones are best so should i just leave them in? Also what would be the best wires to put on it? Also a side note... Im going to have to change the oil soon and was wondering if you guys had any good suggestions to what i should put in it and what filter to use. I just got the car a few days ago and dont know all the specifics about rotarys so i dont want to put anything bad in it. Thanks guys

for oil use what mazda says to use. For fillters i like K&N because they have a nut on the end, makes oil changes so much faster. For plugs, factory mazda plugs are NGK so use those. Wires, mazdatrix has them...well, they have everything.
RX-8 Ignition Parts
On the plugs, the 2 lead and 2 trail plugs are different part numbers. Make sure you get them right.
check out www.rx8club.com Iam sure you can find a lot of help for getting it all correct. There arnt a lot of RX8 owners that come in here, might have something to do with the people that just say "get an FD"
