Pre-mix? explain

okay im not too sure what the point of premix is..now ive had my car for about 2 weeks now.

the car has 75k miles on the body and my engine has about 36k miles...was replaced around 38k roughly. (i have all the papers from mazda and everything done to it)

now the previous owner never used premix..and he knew alot about the rx8s...he actually told me about this forum.

now should i start using it?

im going to need an oil change in about a month or 2 i think..

what are you thoughts?
can someone explain alittle what premix is and how its good for rotary?

it's pre-mix and there's a stickied thread that talks all about it.

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tech-garage-22/gas-oil-premix-thread-99636/

and even before you venture off to a big thread like that, here's a beginner thread (the FAQ at the top):

did you read the FAQ i linked you to (the second link)? there is your high level overview of what pre-mixing is. it's not only for track use but you can figure that out with the other thread:

6. Hitting the track? Toss in a little premix – If you going to drive the car especially hard for extended periods of time, it is wise to add 4/6oz of two stroke oil to the fuel for extra seal lubrication. Its not required, but it’s a good safety measure to protect the engine
