Very Interesting Topic but I may have skipped the info I would like to ask so my question is the following:
I want as everybody to use premix in my RX-8. However the engine oil I use is the Mazda recommended Dexelia 5W-20. Do you think that a premix (for example Royal Purple 2-stroke oil or Idemitsu Premix) if mixed with Dexelia 5W-20 will cause any damage to my engine? I guess that premix with fuel will be mixed with Dexelia 5W-20 inside the motor.
To rephrase my question:
If an RX-8 owner want to use a premix , this premix should be compatible with Engine oil somehow?
Sorry for the dump question !

and as always, you can buy the person a drink or something else (in some state) and he will give you a pass.
Hell I know places if you pay them enough money they will let you pass .... I dont do that cuz I think its just wrong to go around without a CAT. but hey, it happens.

My honest answer is Idemitsu is hard to get with the exception of a few places on-line and can be pricey if you're just testing it out for yourself. People want to know if locally accessible products and other alternatives are acceptable and if there are advantages to other formulations.

this is one huge thread.
So what does one sugeest to start on? I've never used premix before and my motor has 12,500 miles on it.
320:1?
4oz cup of premix for every 10 gallons of gas? what about for a full tank of 16-16 gallons?
is this okay? also how do you add this premix? just dump it in the gastank?
sorry for the n00b questions

hi guys
after talkin with Charles in pm's i pulled the trigger on buying premix(through mazdatrix, took about a week to get here on the east coast).
if you're on the fence about it, get it. i have tried to do everything right with the car, even going out of the way to get the non corn 93 gas at shell. immediately i noticed a difference in driving. acceleration felt a lot smoother. this could all be a placebo effect but i tried to pay close attention to before i filled up and after i filled up with premix.
i read a lot of voodoo about clogged fuel pumps and what not, however in my opinion its a small price to pay if it means my engine will run better and longer.
for those curious about pouring it in, i just dumped it right into the gas tank without a funnel or anything. just unscrewed the cap and put it in the hole and squeezed then checked the level on the quart. Charles recommended 6-8 oz so i put in about 7.
mazdatrix charged me $28.76 shipped by ups from cali to pa for 4 quarts. a side note for mazdatrix, they did not specify on the site how much they would charge for shipping, i found out when i saw the transaction on my debit card.
