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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this GREDDY TRUST oil filter fit both Series 1 and Series 2 RX8 models?

This filter is engineered specifically for the Series 1 RX8 (2003-2008). If you own a Series 2 model, a separate GREDDY TRUST oil filter listed specifically for that generation is available on the site.

How does the double-pleated filter media benefit the Renesis engine?

The double-pleated media increases the total filtration surface area within the same compact housing. More surface area means the filter can capture more particulate matter across the full service interval, which matters for a rotary engine that relies on oil as both a lubricant and a combustion seal agent.

Do I need any special tools to install this oil filter on a Series 1 RX8?

No special tools are required. The GREDDY TRUST filter is a direct spin-on replacement for the Series 1 Renesis, so a standard filter wrench is all you need to remove the old unit and fit the new one.

Why should I replace the oil filter at every oil change rather than skipping intervals?

Rotary engines circulate oil as both a lubricant and a combustion seal agent, so filter condition directly affects engine health. Fitting a fresh GREDDY TRUST filter at each service ensures the next interval runs on clean media from the first kilometre, which is one of the simplest high-value steps in Renesis maintenance.

What other GREDDY TRUST parts work well alongside this oil filter for a Series 1 service?

The GREDDY TRUST Super Magnetic Oil Pan Sump Plug captures ferrous particles at the drain point before they re-enter circulation, and the GREDDY TRUST Large Capacity Oil Pan increases oil volume and thermal stability. Both complement a fresh filter for a thorough Series 1 lubrication service.

Is a branded aftermarket filter like this better than a generic oil filter for the RX8?

A GREDDY TRUST filter gives you a confirmed fresh component with a known manufacture date and construction standard, replacing whatever was previously fitted regardless of that unit's actual history. For a Renesis engine where oil quality is critical, that documented baseline is a practical advantage over an unverified generic alternative.
