Any one in CO Running mix gas

I have heard people say that it is better to run a bit of two stroke oil in your gas with the rotary. I know the rotary already mixes oil into the process but what is the advantage to running with the two stroke oil?

It helps from wearing the rotor housings coating off closer to the plates.

I ran premix in my car for a little over a year while i had it. The engien seemd to run smoother then it did previously. It also gives you piece of mind, if the OMP dies and you don't know about it you'll toast your engine. With premix you know the engine is getting the oil it needs.

What he said. Plus alot of people opt to do away with the OMP later on down the road anyways.

Premix is good. I would recommend disabling the OMP if your going to run premix though.

I usually only use it when I know I'm going to be racing it or very hard on the car.
