Lynn,
That was=20 my thinking as well - more oil volume,
less=20 material =3D better cooling.

I seems to me that since the RX-8 rotor is about the same = external shape=20 and is lighter, that the added internal volume (less iron) would be = larger,=20 so, more oil.
 
The thinner walls would cool better yes?
