Yes, it's a 4 port auto. Rebuilds/refurbished engines will be a premium because they are so rare and parts are harder to come by.
​
Common symptoms a rebuild is imminent are hard starting when the engine is warmed up to operating temperature, bad idle, terrible gas mileage (yes, it can get WORSE), and stalling when warmed up. Be sure to keep on top of ignition health and oil changes to mitigate this as long as possible
​
The DVD nav is useless nowadays (and from what I hear, when it came out as well), due to lack of updates. Most gut the screen out and install an Android tablet. If you're nerdy like me, I'd look into a Raspberry Pi.
​
For Bluetooth audio, the easiest and cheapest solution is an adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Changer-Bluetooth-Adapter-charging/dp/B014QZHR28/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=yatour+bluetooth+rx8&qid=1554124534&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull
​
You could also go with a metra kit and aftermarket head unit, but that gets pricey and from my own personal experience, isn't work the trouble to get everything working.
​
The synthetic vs. non-synthetic arguement has been beaten to death. Personally, I use synthetic (both before and after I installed an SOHN adapter) without issue. Many synthetics are designed to burn cleaner now that when the car came out. Pick a weight appropriate to your climate (or use 0W-40 like I do and you're covered all year). The most important thing is a good oil change interval (I personally do 3000 miles/5000km) and sticking to it.
​
The oil pressure gauge is more of an "on-off" switch and will never move unless you have a very serious problem (in which case, the needle doesn't come up). If you want an accurate measurement, you'll need to install a oil pressure sensor and gauge.
​
You can use any grade of gas in a pinch. In the US, I've used 89 octane without issue during the winter (believe this equals to your 92 octane in NZ...not sure if this conversion chart I'm referencing is totally accurate). Many even use regular 87 (your 91 octane, I believe) without a problem. Your 95 octane is perfectly fine, as it equals our 91 octane.
​
Read up on a manual conversion on RX-8 club...it's terribly involved and you might as well just sell this car and find a manual shell if you're pursuing that route.
​
Hope all of that helps! Welcome to the club!
​
I would reccomend that you look into a device like this it will work with any car that was made to support a trunk style cd changer.
