Marvel Mystery Oil as Pre-Mix
Is it safe to use MMO as a pre-mix? I have done it twice with no problems. It seems to me that MMO would make a good pre-mix. TIA

I have used it for the past six months. I put about 4 ounces in every full tank of gas. I can say that at the very least it hasn't hurt in fact I think that it is what eliminated the smoke at startup thing that I experienced when I first got the car. I definately suggest using it.

I'll leave my fuel straight (hehe) next fill up and see what happens.

I've been using the Protek-R from Pettit and haven't had any problems with it. I've heard that basically it's 2 stroke oil. Mainly increases lubrication within the engine.

I use premix, too, but I use the Mobil 1 Sytntheic 2 cycle oil.

why synthetic in the premix?
i thought synthetic didnt burn as well and left more deposits in its wake?
although i dont know about their 2 stroke line....
i have a friend that is using 2 stroke only for the injected oil....crazy set up but seems to be working...

Yes, it is synthetic. Mobil oil is one of the CLEANEST burning oils in the market. It will leave less deposits when compared to other oils. Not only will it burn cleaner, but since it is synthetic, it will last longer through a cumbustion.

.9949x93 +.0051x1 = 92.5257 +.0051 = 92.5308 octane. This amount would be negligible in comparison to the overall gas octane. Unless you are running at the edge all the time, it should not matter much. Also, 10 oz seems excessive compared to other peoples numbers used.
If you use one quart (32 oz) of oil injected every 3000 miles via the oil injection (Oil Metering Pump) with an average of 15 mpg and 15gallons per fill-up, you have 13.3 tankfuls of gas. This averages to about 2.5 oz/15gal tankful that is injected in your engine. Although the premix oil is thinner, doubling it at 5 oz/ 15gal tank should be more than sufficient. Most people do not use a full quart between oil changes at 3000 miles also.
Since the oil is mixed with the fuel, you get a better distribution in the combustion chamber for lubrication.

I add MMO as Premix at the track (along w/ octane Booster, we only get 91 octane pump gas here in CA) and I add a qt of MMO to the engine oil at every oil change. since adding the MMO it has reduced the "Smoke Signals" at start up and reduced my oil consumption, I now get to go about 100mi further before I have to add Oil.

That a HUGE amount - even race motors w/o omps only run 32oz/15gal

Marvel Mystery Oil (MMO) is available at any Pep Boys, Track, Kragen etc parts store. It is available in pints, quarts, gallons, and stores that deal with fleet users can get it in 5gal and 50gal drums. Lots of Big Rig fleets put it in their Diesel Fuel. I buy my MMO in gallons from my local Pep Boys.
