OMP and premix what are the dangers?
I've read a lot of opinions posted that say this is "bad". Yes, it may be overkill but is it bad for the engine and why?

Yes, correct. Sorry, perhaps I shoulda posted at the end of that thread. Anyway, I'm trying to get a handle on why runing both might be a bad thing. I have not yet read a reasonable reason why it's bad. For one thing, I know 2-stroke will lower the octane rating of the fuel but that shouldn't be a problem with a N/A rotary.

as long as you aren't excessively premixing, a little insurance isn't bad. i personally use a bit of mmo in the tank with each fill up. never heard it lowering octane though. oil isn't near as flamable as gasso if anything it should increase octane some. maybe i'm way off base here but i've never heard of that. problems with adding too much is possible buildup in the chambers and losing power due to the fact that too high of a percentage of your mixture being oil and not gas.

Just read through it. The poll may not cover both but you have to read all the post. Their are people who use both and explain why. No danger and no harmful side effects are added. The same side effects of burning regular engine oil still exist, the build up of carbon.
