That's not an oil leak. That's the automatic oil change and chassis protection feature.

... since I have no idea where to start with radio stuff, is there any combination that would let me have a bluetooth connection from my phone to the RX-8 radio without it looking like poo poo?

I haven't done it on mine, but it supposed to be really easy to get at the aux input on the back of the radio unit, and then pipe it to the glovebox. Unless you leave the glove box open, no one sees the mess.

In other news further reenforcing that us rotards have significant masochistic tendencies, as soon as the RX-8 was back on it's newly painted gold wheels ( pictures will be added later today ) with fresh transmission fluid, the Secondary Shutter Valve (SSV) finally got stuck.

I was waiting for this to happen since the car has 112k on it and Mazda like all other manufacturers vents the crank case into the intake. The SSV is as a portion of Mazdas version of VTec that they have been employing on all N/A rotaries since 1985. Including in a slightly modified form on the LeMans cars.

So I will be cleaning that tomorrow, reality willing.

Did you have a good test for that? I'm wondering if I need to do mine (not looking forward to doing it)
