Running diesel oil

The exhaust gas may be high heat, but the oil temperatures seen in a rotary are no different than those seen in a regular gas piston engine. Besides, it was designed for gasoline engine oil.

Even "high rpm" diesels will still redline below your average gasoline piston engine.

I'm not saying that the additive packages will have those exact differences, that's just what the "typical" differences are apparently, and it'll be a bit different depending on what standard the oil is made to as well.
