yeah its called Marvels Mystery oil. You put about 4oz to 10 gallons of gas. you can use it on any car. Also most people say it stops the little smoke that comes out in the morning starts. You can buy it at any autoparts store for about 3 to 4 dollars

It's actually called "pre-mix".&nbsp Those with intact OMP systems are recommended to run 400:1 ratios.&nbsp Those without OMP systems can run a little bit more between 100:1 to 150:1 ratios.&nbsp Pre-mix is added to gasoline when filling every tank.

ALL rotaries from Mazda have them.&nbsp I'd bet you still have yours.

OMP is located in the front of the engine. Front cover to be exact. If you have an 87 you have a mechanical OMP.
