I use Valvoline TCW-3 Ashless 2 stroke oil that I've found at a couple of the local auto stores. The car will still smoke with it even though it's no ash. I run ~4 ounces for every 10 gallons or 1oz every 2.5 gallons
I also have the omp hooked up correctly

I have omp, but I run pre-mix also.
I use 2 stroke motorcycle oil.

Wargasm

I use the factory OMP + 1/2 ounce of Penzoil Marine Outboard Motor 2 stroke oil per 1 gallon of pump gas.

What is the point of using premix and keeping the OMP? Seems a bit redundant.

BoostorLose

Added protection I suppose. I know guys who run the omp and not premix, but on track days run both just to be sure. I do it too, that way if the OMP poops itself the motor won't poop itself. Oh by the way my half bridge rules. Carry on

Haltech doesn't run the OMP so yes, I use ~1oz/gal premix as well.

yeah what he said

Wargasm

Putting oil in will increase emissions. Don't you think Mazda probably had to make some compromise there? In my opinion, even a STOCK RX-7 should run a bit more than the stock OMP dishes out.... Plus with increased HP, you need an extra bit of protection. That's why I run both.

chris_stampe

I will now run premix in the future too. Thanks!

Without omp 1oz / Gal is this correct ?
With omp how much ?

ronbros3

I run the OMP into the rotor housings and premix 1 oz. to a gallon, I want everything sliding around smoothly, it dont smoke at all.

ronbros3

OH! yea I run the 86-91 mechanicle pump on my FD engine injecting into the rotor housings, set at 3/4 open along with the premix.

bcty

with higher hp cars your should be running premix

XSTransAm

yeah i use 16 oz of lucas premix per fill up, but then again i run haltech so i dont have much of a choice :P

it is nice to see that my oil level in my engine never drops though.

sevenin7

Is the same with c-16 race fuel ?

SilvioRX7

I'm using Idemitsu, 1/2 oz per gal. The engine seems to run smoother with the Idemitsu than with the other premixes I've used.

Outkast

Does running premix affect your power output? I am asking because when I mix too much oil in my Banshee it runs worse (like rich). It seems the less oil that I mix in, the faster it goes, but it is safer reliability wise to mix more. What if I just add a tiny bit with each fill up, since I still have the OMP? Is that better than nothing? Thanks.

Hi guys
Most people use , as i read from the forum ...without the OMP : One ounce of oil -- for 1 gallon of gas . I know that , one gallon is 3.8 litr , but how much is ...one ounce in gram/lit ?
Thanks.
