Oil cooler lines on the rx 8 will rust an corrode due to salt on the roads in the winter months in the upper states.. lines rust and corrode causing oil to spray over the engine bay, tires and brakes. Causing a loss traction. And even environmental issues.. oil over the road.this becomes a hazard to drivers behind you.. Mazda has a recall Canada due to this issue.. but will not honor the us at all.. this is seriously needs to be addressed immediately..
