pre mix

I have a 1988 13b that is going on a dune buggy. The guy said that it was set up to run premix, what is the ratio?

between 1-2 ounces per gallon depending on how hard your hitting the throttle.

TCW3 rated is popular because of the specs it is tested to meet.

This is one of those questions where a search would have turned up alot of info.

I usually would, but am dead tired. I was in a car for 10 hours today to go get the engine. What oil do you guys use in your engines?

any oil that is tcw3 rated is fine, though Im sure many people have their own favorite ones.

Currently Im using Idemitsu premix. Before that I was using cheap walmart premix made by castrol.

I may be wrong but I was under the impression that premixing benefits your engine on start up. Once your car is running everything will lubricate itself as needed with engine oil.

If that's the counterweight you need, it should work since it appears to be for your model.

2 ounces per gallon would be twice what is generally recommended. That's quite significant and will cause the vehicle to trail smoke and probably foul plugs.
