Some decompose faster that others. Meaning they release filter debris more than others. Maybe that has some sort of chemical effect with the pre-mix?

I use the Exxon brand 2 stroke oil. It claims to be ashless and meets all of the SAE specs required of the top quality oils. It is also a fraction of the price of the synthetics.

the oil injectors only cote about 1/3rd of the rotor (the middle third)
when you premix, that oil gets shot through the injector, coating the whole face of the rotor.

block off your oil metering pump and block off your oil injectors...
then put MMO or 2 cycle engine oil in your gastank when you fillup with gas.

4oz. of premix in a full tank of gas is not going to lower your octane level. Not to mention the fact oil is harder to burn than gas so if anything, wouldn't we be bumping it up a bit? Pennzoil makes a synth 2 stroke which can be found at Walmart in a big yellow container for under $20. I think it's full gallon in size.

Will this cause any major problems? I did fill up before I poured it in.

Yikes! The whole Quart! It will probably foul up your plugs a run like crap, but I don't think it should hurt anything. You will just have to scrape the exhaust pooh off the back of your car!

marvel oil is thinner than most of the premixing oils that everyone uses. it will not hurt, but it would be wise to dilute the mixture the first opportunity you get.
as far as premixing, i stopped premixing about 6 months ago. i was getting more oil smoke than i liked and began adding the MMO to the oil @ the change interval. since then, everythnig has been fine. however, i still get some smoke on start up/warm up, and i expect to see it as long as i own the fd. i have no cats, and there is residual oil that is not burned in the combustion chamber after shut down, so the small amount of oil in the morning does not bother me..

i use premix, but i have no OMP due to e6k.
you can drain some fuel from the 14mm bolt on bottom of gastank to dilute. you could also disconect elictrical conection for the omp for this tank. (pump will still run at about 50% duty from my understanding of it.)

I still have my OMP and oil injectors and i use MMO every fill up. I didn't know i'm suppose to block omp and oil injectors in order to premix. Is this true?

Well, I started the car today and it smoked a little more and ran a little rougher at start-up than usual, but once it warmed up it ran smooth. One thing did occur, the vacuum improved from 16in to 20in!! Could that be from the MMO? And to make sure it was not a fluke reading, I stopped and restarted the car several times and the vacuum reading still read 20in!!

So for you guys that have actually blocked off your omp how much pre mix are you using for a full tank???
I've been using about 8oz for a full tank of gas. I blocked off my omp so premix is all I have, hence the 8oz instead of usual 4oz. If you use less than 8oz how long have you been doing it that way???

I acutally have no smoking (at startup), since I've switched to MMO (from Penn premix)
