FC running premix oil
So I'm curious as to what the pro's and con's of running a premix? I'm looking at an FC thats has had the OMP removed and I'd like to know what I'd be getting into. I'm now newbie to cars and I'm not scared of doing a little upkeep but I dont want to get a car that I'm having to fix every other weekend.

I premix. Its not a pita for me. Its a good excuse for me to give my 7 a 'once-over' check. No smokey exhaust either...

I have a question about this with my 91. My understanding from reading through the forums is, that running with a bad OMP can burn out a particular circuit in the ECU!? If this is true how do you overcome that issue? I am currently posting right now having acceleration problem and an OMP WITH EMPTY LINES!

It isn't as bad as you think. A friend of mine does it on his. The only annoying part to me is always having to have it in the car. I don't like "stuff" in the car, ha.

Pros: like someone said, you know your engine is getting oil. You don't have to worry about the pump going out. You don't have to worry about those pesky oil lines that end up leaking (I replaced mine with heavy duty line as a precautionary method). It also simplifies the engine.
Cons: You have to be very careful on adding the proper amount. Might cause injector problems if you add too much. If you add too much and have catalytic converters that would probably not be good.

So I keep watching this thread and I see no mention of anyone changing the software in the ecu as I was instructed in my thread!? Also are you guys mixing oil in tank while at pump or in seperate can?
