How to Change a Rotary Engine Oil (1993 Mazda RX 7)

The Mazda RX-7 was a sports car that was produced by the Japanese automaker Mazda from 1978 to 2002. The first RX-7 featured an 1,146 cc (69.9 cu in) twin-rotor Wankel rotary engine and a front-mid-ship, rear-wheel drive layout. This car is a timeless piece of art that many have not heard about in the U.S.
