Actually, between more efficient oil squirting and repositioning of the exhaust port, this rotary uses significantly less oil than the RX-7 as well as having fewer particulate emissions.
Of course, the new port location doesn't lend itself to a three-rotor setup, so I don't envision anything like the previous generation RX-7's with (dead stock, officer. Honestly) JDM 20b triple-rotors. Oh, well.
