1987RX7guy is right.. make sure it's TCW-3 and that's about it.. I think the biggest factor to decide what kind I buy is where I am at the time..
I have not noticed any smoking differences between brands.
I guess the "best" would be some synthetic grade stuff you can get.. it's really expensive thou.
With no cats and premix my car smells pretty bad.

Valvoline Multi Purpose 2 stroke oil.
A couple years back, the bottle stated "For Rotary Engines". The new bottle does not state that now but it is still TCW3 certified. Upon engine tear down, internals were almost spotless. I'm keeping the Valvoline .

That is why oil changes are so important. You don't want crud clogging the injectors.
If you want to keep the injectors, you could pull out the 4 hose and injectors and clean them out with carb cleaner.

Marvel Magic Mystery Oil, where do you get this? I'm picking up a 91 GXL converted to Turbo next week and I want to take good care of this engine.. I hear lots of good stuff about this.. and no one can really explain why it's so good.. it just is!.
Is it safe to run directly in the engine and mix with gas?

I use Amsoil pre-mix 100 to 1 as recommended by my cars tuners and many times national champions--Rotary Performance in Garland, TX. It is what they use in their cars.
