Am I over premixing?
So I dropped my oil for the 2nd time since I started premixing tonight, and it had a greenish tint to it. The oil before always looked yellowish, So my guess of what is going on is that the blue 2 stroke oil is mixing with the yellowish oil to make this greenish oil color. The oil on the dip stick looked normal color, but when I dropped the oil I could tell the differance. I have my OMP disabled with an rtek and have been mixing 1oz of two-stroke per 1gal of gas, I think that's a 132 to 1 ratio. Do I need to lean it out more or is this just the way the oil will appear when running a premix? I have had the car dyno tuned with the SAFCII so I don't think it is running overly rich either. Other than that the car runs great with no other problems.

My oil use to look as good when I drained it as it did when I dumped it in. This is just the first time it was not looking like I was draining new oil. It looked like used dirty oil with a greenish tint. Maybe its because I have just pulled it out of a year long storage, I don't know...

I've been mixing 1oz/1 gal for years and have never seen that in an oil change. I think that if premix was responsible for that, you'd also be able to smell the gas it was mixed with in that old oil. I think the cause is something else.

Your premix goes in the gas tank. Someone tell me how that could possible get in the pan. Can't is the answer.
Gasoline/premix goes in the combustion chambers, not the pan or OMP or anywhere else.
Probably got antifreeze in the oil pan. Don't ask and I won't tell you how it got there.

Well I took the car for a hard couple hundred mile cruse today, my antifreeze level is still to the top of the cap and my oil level is still the same. So what so you think is going on, Hailers?
