This RX8 oil filter from GREDDY TRUST is a spin-on replacement built specifically for the Series 1 Renesis rotary engine. Rotary engines use oil as both a lubricant and a combustion seal agent. That makes filtration quality a genuine engine health concern, not a detail to leave to chance.
GREDDY TRUST’s double-pleated filter paper expands the total filtration surface area within the same compact housing. The result is improved particle capture and longer service life over a standard OEM unit.
GREDDY TRUST RX8 Oil Filter Key Features
- Double-pleated filter media increases the filtration surface area without increasing housing size. It captures more fine particles across the full service interval.
- It threads on and off like a direct spin-on replacement, requiring no specialist tools beyond a standard filter wrench. The oil change stays quick and clean.
- Engineered and manufactured in Japan by TRUST, a brand with a long history of rotary-specific development and genuine enthusiasm for the SE3P platform.
- Finally, fitting a fresh unit at each service gives the Renesis a confirmed new-condition filter with a known manufacture date, replacing whatever was previously fitted regardless of its actual history.
For RX8 enthusiasts, the difference shows up from the first kilometre after a service. Fresh double-pleated media means the engine circulates the cleanest possible oil from the moment you pull away.
A high-revving Renesis relies on that oil for sealing as much as lubrication. That consistency is how careful ownership pays off over time.
Round out the Series 1 lubrication service with two complementary parts. The GREDDY TRUST Super Magnetic Oil Pan Sump Plug captures ferrous particles at the drain point before they ever reach the filter. The R-MAGIC Super Magnetic Gearbox Drain Plug applies the same logic to the gearbox side. Together with a fresh RX8 oil filter, these three parts cover the key wear-particle capture points in one service. If your RX8 is a Series 2, the GREDDY TRUST Oil Filter for the later generation is listed separately. Visit the GREDDY TRUST official website for full manufacturer specifications.
