smokeless, ashless, and tc-w3. Is this in addition to the MOP system?, is that 6oz per gallon or how many gallons?, and what kind?

Are you asking if premixing in general is right? Or the choice of oil? A lot of people use 2-stroke oil for premixing as its meant to be burned. Chain saw oil just happens to come in nice small bottles. Does that answer anything?

I add 6-8 oz. of MMO or 2-cycle oil on every fillup, and my engines run smoother and smoother and smoother.

they arent like a hinge, it needs lubrication all the time. although if you're not driving hard the stock pump is fine. so if you're going racing, or something, putting 4-6oz in the tank (WITH stock metering pump) is a good idea
