87-91 Turbo 2 Premix questions
I've been bitten by the rotary bug as of late. Had a Turbo 2 a few years ago and just loved it. Anyways I've been doing some research on the use of premix on Turbo 2's and have some questions.
1. Do you still change the oil like regular after removing the omp and going premix?
2. What else gets lubricated by oil in a rotary besides the e-shaft, and rotors?
3. Do you leave all other oil related parts on the car? ie: oil pump, cooler....
4. How do you measure out the appropriate amount of oil when you fill up with gas?
This will not be a dedicated race car. Mostly a fun on the weekend/trackday car.
Thank you for any help.

In addition, a very tiny amount of oil is drawn off to feed the metering oil pump, which supplies oil to a set of 4 oil jets or "dribblers". Each rotor housing has an oil jet above the intake port which drops oil directly onto the apex seal to lubricate it as it slides across the housing. Another jet drops oil into the primary runners of the intake manifold to mix with the air/fuel charge. This oil lubricates the rotor face, apex seals, side seals, irons, housing, etc.

But comparison on engine wear was proven with pics. The premix housing wear was much more even than with the OMP one.
Its in a thread here somewhere but I'm too lazy to find it.
