Using 2 cycle oil in gas?

Looking in the past post from a few years back, there has been a lot of discussion about whether to use premix with the gas. Since I am a new rotary owner on a '87 with 27000 miles on it, I am wondering is this still the way most of you are running in your gas? I dont think i will remove the OMP but wondering if I should add the premix. This car will only be used on occasion as a street car.

Thanks

I recommend premixing 4 oz. per 10 gallons of gas for street use.

50/50??...Ok you try that and tell us how a half a gallon of 2 stroke oil will burn with a half a gallon of gas.It would cost you about 300 bucks to fill up!!...probably the best Compressive Grease gun in the neighborhood!

Premix ratios should be "about" 1 OUNCE of 2 Stroke to ONE GALLON Of Fuel.That is IF your OMP is deleted...One BIG Bottle(16 oz) of 2 stroke to a FULL tank.
If it is NOT then you can cut that significantly to say a half or 1 1/4 of an Ounce to one gallon of fuel.That works to roughly 4 ounces or a Cup(8 ounces) to a FULL TANK.
This measure only being as a Security for anyone too scared to rely on the stock parts to supply oil internally to the engine...especially on an S5 Omp as it will work OR it just doesn't allow you to operate the Engine properly.The car goes into Limp mode and it runs like ****.

He meant the verdict is 50/50...not the mix ratio! Lol

Derp Styx.

Do what Evo Koa said. 40z per 10 gallons if your OMP is functioning correctly

Sounds like to me, that I dont need to worry about premixing on my car. After all it only has 27000 on original car and engine! And for some reason it stopped working, I would know about it before any damage to the engine.

I run half an ounce to a gallon. I still have a functioning OMP. I use quality outboard 2 stroke oil.

Premixing..according to this Forum?...
It accumulating all the ridiculous info and the Correct info,Jumbling it all together and then taking what you conceive is most logical info,Tossing that out the window and doing something totally different.

One gram of weed per 10 ounces of Bong Water.

10oz of bong water for a 35oz capacity bong maybe. Not for a 6 foot. Tables, chairs, and whatever else. Because.
