I wouldn't know, I would never throw a bottle of something in which the main ingredients are mineral spirits and naptha aromatic hydrocarbons into my gas (or oil, for that matter). Although I do hear that guys enjoy the exhaust scent of cherries, or strawberries, or something like that.

Now that I've confused you, lol, are the any instructions on the bottle for mixing ratios with the gas?

Oh yeh, sorry, forgot to mention the premix- most guys with operational oil metering systems use anywhere from a 200:1 ratio to a 400:1 ratio. Basically just enough to turn the gas in the tank a light green color, lol...

I'd get amur in on this, he was considering running mmo at one point i thought. Plus i remember icemark saying something about how it won't be as protective as tcw3 is.

How do you figure that running a 400:1 gas:mix ratio has to do with cold start issues?

Talking

MMO 1oz/gal gas, If your OMP system is intact start using MMO to top your oil up.
Usually use about 1qt oil every 1000-1500 mi. After you put a couple of tanks of fuel thru the car 4-6 oz/gas fill is enough. If you switch to using TCW3 6-12 oz/fill is needed.
Have fun

PS I asssume you've managed to get it started?

Use Motul 600 Ester which is fully synthetic premix and you wont have to worry about smoking or if its doing its job. Recommended by Odula as well.

I've used it for quite some time and I never have smoking problems or any negetives associated with premixing.
