Body styles covered

Trims covered

Known issues on the 2010 RX-8. No recalls are on federal record for the 2010 RX-8, and no complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year either. That clean record doesn't change what the rotary engine demands: correct compression testing, oil metering pump calibration, and apex seal service all depend on doing the job to Mazda's exact procedure, and that procedure is what this manual gives you.
Whether you're setting up a compression test, servicing the oil metering system, or working through a routine interval, it keeps every step and spec matched to your specific 2010 RX-8.
