you can do a search and find bunches of info. I mix 1 ounce per gallon of 2-cycle oil or Marvel Mystery oil. Its your choice.

(BTW guys, lets not start another MMO vs. 2cycle thread

Ask sterling, he basically mods the nikki....a lot. Wish I had the money for one, I have heard nothing but good about them.

You can also use old crankcase oil if you have a problem (like me) with it piling up around your shop.

For racecars, tho, I use Lucas 2-cycle. About an ounce per gallon, usually. I tend to put in 10oz with a tank, and then add 5 oz per jug I add, even if it's less than 5 gallons. I also run with the oil pump unhooked.

^ oil metering pump right? you still need the other one ( i know thats what you meant, but hey im a smart ***) And yeah, theres lot of info on premixing, only reason i do it is cause my omp doesn't work, came that way when i bought it, and i haven't dug in to see whats causing it to not work, im too lazy!

advantages:

burns cleaner than crankcase oil
lubes better (will be debated though)
effective alternative to omp

disadvantages:

costs more
i think direct oil injection into the rotors is more effective (only applies to 2nd gens) so use both
some people think its a pain in the ***
you car smells like 2 stroke (i like it though )
build up some nasty deposits on your bumper above the exhuast (probably happens regardless)


its up to you, everybody debates this
