Idemitsu premix

After reading many of the threads about using premix or not i decided to purchase a case of Idemitsu premix from Mazdatrix, my question is now how much to put in a full tank of gas, some people use 4oz, 6oz, or 8oz. Just wondering what peoples opionions are on this and suggestions.

I don't understand how people can read that thread, and not get the info... Sheesh.

I usually do .5 oz per gallon. It just depends on how much you fill up. If you fill with a little less than a 1/4 tank, put in 6. If it's somewhere in the middle, just a tad more, and if the light is on, or really close, put in 7. Either way, 6 would probably be fine.

Well I already did, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be interested in a 2nd case. What type of "life span" does the premix have in the bottle (stupid question probably so don't flame me)

I really have no idea but I would guess 5+ years if it is not opened.

just to add, when wondering how much of something to use i always go to the manufacture first.

Message boards can be great, but when it comes to something as hotly debated as premixing where no one can give a right answer, go with what the guys who make it suggest.

I put in 6oz for a full tank. I think they recommend 4oz for every 10 gallons.
