I used Redline Synthetic smokeless but since I use Wolf 3D I've retained my omp (the Wolf has omp controls). I'm just now switching to the Idemitsu stuff when I go to Thunderhill next weekend.

I run either Idemitsu or Amsoil synthetic two stroke pre-mix ("Interceptor"), about 8 oz per fill up...I've been doing this for almost two years, OMP disconnected

stay away from this stuff, it leaves ugly deposits...I've seen it first hand on the power valves on my waverunner

Amsoil synthetic two stroke is worlds better

Mazdatrix recommends 1/2oz of Idemitsu oil with every gallon of fuel, what ratios are you using?

that's what I run (no OMP, either)

it really doesn't take much oil to keep the seals lubricated, unless you are racing, 100:1 in far too rich imo

I never knew, this is what my friend was using and told me it was good... Where can you pick up Amsoil synthetic at? Thanks for pointing that out man.

And you base this on......?

We've been through this in another thread, yzf

Here's my opinion:

when it comes to the health of motor internals, I'd rather be safe than sorry.

8 ozs for 18 gallons of gas is a 369:1 ratio. That's not even remotely close to 100:1.

I run 1 oz per gallon Idemitsu premix (164:1 ratio) *with* a working OMP, and see zero smoke out the tailpipe, with zero added smell. You wouldn't even know I premix.

I'm going to get in touch with Idemitsu, I'm fairly certain their recommendation is based on a working OMP, unless their product is way superior to 'regular' premix. Then maybe we can get an authoritative answer and cease all the speculation.

I use 1 oz. per gallon of Amsoil HP injector 2 stroke without the MOP. After what Goodfella said about no smoke and no smell with Idemsu, i might try that, my car smells llike ****.

Any of you guys try Klotz?
It makes the tail of a bike or quad smell awesome.
Just wondering how it would do in our cars.

Where is everyone finding Idemitsu?

I use whatever TCW-3 is on the shelf, usually pick up a name brand over a store brand. I usually buy whatever they have on the shelf since they don't carry much.

I generally mix 1 oz to a gallon, but i'll put in more if i'm heading to the strip.

Here's my opinion:

I would tend to agree, but I also don't want to foul my plugs...that has happened and it sucks

8 ozs for 18 gallons of gas is a 369:1 ratio. That's not even remotely close to 100:1.
actually 0.5/128 oz is 1:256

I run 1 oz per gallon Idemitsu premix (164:1 ratio) *with* a working OMP, and see zero smoke out the tailpipe, with zero added smell. You wouldn't even know I premix.
interesting, because if I've been bogging it for awhile, I see a ton of smoke come out of the tailpipe when I get on it, then it clears up...perhaps I'm running plugs that are too cold, but thery're just NGK 9s

I'm going to get in touch with Idemitsu, I'm fairly certain their recommendation is based on a working OMP
that really is the key question

Then maybe we can get an authoritative answer and cease all the speculation.
great, look forward to your follow-up post, Rich
