Question rotary=2cycle? think about it

now hear me out before you start in on this idea a rotaty engine has oil and gas in the same place in the engine in order to lub it right just like a 2 cycle right. you know that your oil get deluted and thined after awhile with gas because of this. so say you used 2cycle motor oil in your gas it all goes to the same place and would help with the problem of oil consumption you could just use you oil in the pan for your turbos and then ther is little need for oil coolers becaus the oil is the same temp as the gas which would also help with temp so in theory this would solve some problems.

I would just like to know if any one has thought about this idea or better yet have tryed it? (it works in theroy)

Two cycle engines for most uses have needle bearings that need far less oil than the type bearings in our cars . The premix oil or oil injestion systems is enough to feed the needle bearings . The bearings in our engines need forced feed oiling to keep the bearings from touching metal to metal . The oil in our cars cools the engine about 1/3 , the water does the other 2/3 so oil coolers are needed .
