NO....Do not use motor oil! Use 1oz. of 2cycle oil or protec R to every gallon of fuel. I've been using the little 4oz. bottles for about 2yrs now.

1oz seems kinda a lot for each gallon, 400:1 for the street and 200:1 for race is the ratio that most people seem to use.
good luck
BTW: I personnaly throw in 4 oz for every refill I do which is about 12-14 gallons.

its oil. Its to compensate for poorly designed oil injectors. I say they were poorly designed because they dont spread the oil, the oil starts to just run down the side of the housing after a while so adding oil into the fuel compensates for this.

I use Castrol Super-outboard oil in the area of 10 ounces per 15-18 gallon fill-up..
A quart of the castrol cost $3 compared to $2 per 4 ounces..

Okay I see. Damn how come with all the rotary knowledge I never hear about this habitchually? Maybe it's just me, but I'll store it in my head now 
. So I guess basically after you fill up, you just pour some oil in the gas tank...or something like that.

I use the Marvel Mystery Oil and it works good. I guess? Just cheap insurance. Just use 4.oz for every fill up if you still have the OMP system. If you are not using the OMP system then you may need to be a little more pickey about how much you add.

I use the MMO also. I bought a quart and a gallon. It is hard to pour the gallon through a funnel into a 4 oz. bottle. So I pour from the quart bottle and just refill it with the gallon jug ($12-$14). The smoke at startup seems to be a lot less.

So you guys think this can do the same job as the Protek R from pettit? would you use the same 4oz of MMO?
If yes then I am going to start recycling the little Protek 4oz container and sticking MMO in there...

I've used it since my rebuild a few months back. Went 8 years with out (blew a water seal not an Apex seal).
Can't hurt and I elected 3mm seals now (please no comments on this) so I'm thinking its a good idea.
Don't know about MMO but its popular too.
