Really? This is covered in the FAQ, and a search for "premix" turns up literally thousands of threads.

1 ounce per gallon of fuel injection compatible two stroke oil.

You can get Idemitsu from Mazda Trix...and it's not that expensive comparatively...

Pre-mixing

I generally use a 100/1 mix ratio on race cars. This is probably a liitel oil rich for a street car, where you could probably use more like 150/1. 1 gallon is 3785cc or 128 oz, so 100/1 = 38 cc or 1.3 oz, 150/1 = 25 cc or 0.8 oz.

PA Premix

I race a 1990 RX7 NA in SCCA. I use one once of Legend two stroke oil per gal. It's easier to just add 5 onces to a five gal can or jug for a consistent mix.

So basically, a 100/1 premix ratio would be 1.3oz of premix per gallon of gasoline.

Idemitsu is a rotary specific oil/premix oil... but in reality most any 2stroke oil will work for premixing. Here is a link: http://www.mazdatrix.com/q-supply.htm
