Dude, you can't premix with regular oil, it just doesn't work. You HAVE to use 2-cycle oil for it to work properly.
Anything with a TC-W3 rating will work, as stated.

just keep using the indemitsu premix, thats what i did, bought me 12qts from mazda trix, and it took me over a year to use all of them. i mean its specificaly for rx7's what else need i say
lol
CLIFF NOTES:
1. If you are premixing, use ONLY TCW3 rated 2-cycle oil mixed in the fuel.
2. If you are premixing, this allows you to use more modern synthetic oils in the engine.
3. Go to another forum and steal an avatar from someone. That's what I always do anyways.

I know that i should only us TC-W3 rated......So every two stoke oil is use for premixing....there is no such thing as using it as engine oil....it doesnt work that way right....correct me if im wrong....have anybody tried 4 stroke engine oil on their car..
You can't use 2-stroke oil in your engine. It doesn't have the viscosity or chemical makeup to handle that kind of stress. 2-cycle oil is designed to burn off, and that's exactly what it will do inside your block.

Motorcycles share the transmission and engineblock lube with a common sump.
Quality motorcycle oil is specially formulated to endure the extra shear from the gearbox while still protecting the crank and valvetrain.
Your car doesn't need the oil formulation that a bike does because the tranny is a different unit and doesn't share it's oil with the engine block.
Don't use motorcycle oil in the sump.
