You can run pre-mix and your MOP. You just want to run a leaner ratio of pre-mix. So run a 1:2 ratio instead of 1:1 ratio. I run pre-mix and my MOP but on track days I put a little bit more in than the 1:2 ratio.

If your still running the OMP.... I wouldn't dump more than 1-2 ounce / 10 gallons in there... my buddy runs a third gen with no injections and he's runnin 1 oz per gallon.
I've been thinking about doin the premix thing, but the info is so damn sketchy on whats the right mix after you eliminate your OMP and his motor has had some "suspicious" apex seal pukings!!

but you can run the omp with a weak premix, right? in theory this seems like the best thing to go as you get the good thing from them both (I might be thinking about this to hard. I tend to do that)

hehe....my OMP died...and would run my car in limp mode....so i decided to premix. too bad the electric OMP would still throw the car in limp mode. so what did i do? i got a used OMP, zip tied it to my strut brace in my engine bay, and then plugged it in. running premix now . i want to look into seeing if i can run a resistor pack of some type to the hookup so i can get that OMP out of there completely. S4's have mechanical OMP's btw, so you can get away with removing them completely.

i just did the water trick with my car and once done checked my oil and it had quite a bit of water in it. would it be safe to drive if i premix 1oz per gallon to take care of the lean oil?

i realy need to know, i know it doesnt sound like a good idea but seems like it would work in theory, is there anything that would not be lubricated enough by doing this?
