alright, I'm going crazy over here trying to find a post I saw a few weeks ago.
Someone asked about containers or bottles and there was a link to a site that sold a container that I thought was perfect for pre-mixing.
it was basically a larger container but had a smaller bottle attached for measuring.

now I can't find it.
(90 minutes of my life wasted on this already and still counting...)

No, there will not be any data on premixing E85.

Because running E85 in an 8 is not a realistic idea.

Shoot, I wish I saw this sooner! I could have saved you the trouble of searching for my post.

I still have to buy that thing.

yea 05, I couldn't for the LIFE of me remember who posted that container. For some reason, I kept thinking Chickenwafer commented on it so I was trying all kinds of searchs under his user name.
Hell at one point, I pulled up ALL his posts and started going through them one at a time.

2 hours of my life I'll never get back.

I was curious about the couple premixes listed, so i did some googling.
I was recommended by a fellow rotary owner(several rotaries from stock to 700rwhp) to run the Lucas 2-stroke oil, it's like $5.89 per pint(16oz)
What's interesting is the flash point, which I'm sure plays a huge role on deposits and lubrication.

Anyway link time!
Valvoline

Lucas

Idemitsu

Redline MSDS

Redline blurb, some good info.

Amsoil(get ya close..)

Valvoline

Remember this is not only for lubrication purposes, using this in the SOHN reservoir is for cooling the rotors. There is some discussion as to which purpose is more important but regardless, it is for cooling.

Lucas is good but not readily available to me for some reason, sometimes O'Reilly's has it but not usually. Besides I am injecting more than usual and I use 5oz per tank in the gas as well so I like to buy it by the gallon.

Went to oreilly and just my luck they were reorganizing the whole store, and at that time were on the section that included the 2 strokes. They said they have seen the mystik oil around but have no idea where it went, I just went with some other jaso fc/fd one they had there I think it may have been lucas.

Agreed, I figured I'd be using it regularly anyway with the new engine going in on Monday. I just ordered it in bulk for that reason. I have two quarts of Idemitsu to burn up as well.
