Who is using the Pettit Protek-R premix?
Seeing as how I drive the absolute **** out of my R1, I'm thinking of trying this stuff. It seems fairly inexpensive.
Comments, opinions?

I used it on my first engine every fill up since 5,000 original miles. When I pulled it apart at around 30,000 miles, there was hardly an carbon at all. It literally took about 30 minutes to clean the whole engine up and every still looked brand new (aside from the rotor housing that got killed from the apex seal). I cleaned up another engine that had similar miles on it but had never used the premix, and it literally took me hours to clean all the carbon and crap off the rotors. Needless to say I still use it every fill up.

somone posted before that polaris jet ski oil is same as the pettit oil. I have used both and they don't appear to be the same, pettit oil is red and thin, polaris oil is yellowish and thick, they smell alot different too.

I have used the Protek before and did notice more smoke but that's it.

i heard it straight from pettit technicians mouths, 2 stroke synthetic mix oil is the same stuff. i use the marine 2 stroke fully synthetic. gotta keep those apex seals as wet as possible. ive also stated the fact before, the only reason mazda doesnt release the official statement to the public to add the oil to your gas is b/c nobody would pass emisions tests. i use it about every third fill up.

Don't know why?
If your oil metering pump is working, why are you putting oil in the tank? I know the EK6 ECU disables the pump, so I understand those guys. Sorry, I just gon't get the point if the metering pump is doing its job.

That's the thing, it does it's job, but it's not exactly getting employee of the month. Adding oil to the gas adds a little extra lubrication to the engine, which obviously isn't a bad thing. Back to the employee analogy thing, would you rather have an employee that just does his or her job, or would you rather have one that absolutely excels at their job? Does the stock OMP work? Yes. But it's not the greatest at it's job (especially with the PFC which supposedly doesnt run the OMP to its full potential). The premix just helps it with its job. Think of it as an intern helping the employee do their job better.
