welcome.

i guess the short answers to your questions are yes, and possibly, no. yes, you are mixing oil with your fuel. no, because something tells me you're thinking regular motor oil. premix is 2-stroke oil - specifically meant for the purpose of mixing with fuels.

the purpose is to keep the engine seals lubricated without harmful deposits and residues.

You would only need this in high rpm racing.. Not needed for street driving, as the oil metering would work fine.

Premix is when you disconnect your oil metering pump and mix about 100/1 2 stroke mower oil in your fuel tank. This means you will get cleaner oil and and exact amount of oil to fuel ratio.
