Do you know that expo1s was using 4 oz of premix ??? With this quantity Mazmart Paul said to back off a little with premix !!!!!!!
So you are using double the quantity of expo1s which means 8oz per tank.

Well to me the engine looks pretty normal 'Carbon' wise.
To get "Carbon Lock" something has to "Lock Up", appears the only broken parts was a side seal spring which is unusual.
The reason the Carbon is soft is because of Pre-mix.

Forgot to Add, rather than turn this into a Pre-Mix hate thread, this issue this motor had was not pre-mix related.
It was a broken side seal spring...not Carbon related...IMO.
8 Oz's (240 mil) per tank is the correct number, 4 Oz's or 120 mil is doing next to nothing.
technics (kevin) a club member and Mazda Master Technician who works solely on RX-8's (Rotaries) recommends pre-mixing, and I agree, to used his words, there are no downsides to pre-mixing.
I guess my engine is about to expire, I have done 6000 Miles and pre-mixed from the day I drove off the showroom floor.
IMO this issue is just one of those things that just happened, it could have been a badly made side seal spring.

One thing I have noticed, and I know it is not "groundbreaking" but, after I drive and always give her a few red-lines (hot engine only) I check out inside the rear exhaust pipes when home, instead of the color being dark black like most RX-'s, mine is always a deep slate blue/grey, showing the pre-mix is doing it's job.
And I use Amsoil Saber Pro.

- Paul Mazmart said to expo1 to back off concerning premix (3 oz per tank). Expo1 was using 4oz per tank
well both of them are rotary experts
what do you mean by that? sorry I did not get it.

[QUOTE=rotaryPilot;3117736]- Pettit Racing suggests 4 oz at each fill up.

[QUOTE]
While it is true that they are rotary experts is it true that what they said could be valid for EVERY situation?
I mean, did expo1 spent more time at the track than at home? does pettit refer to cars that are always driven hard?
3\4oz per tank are ok if you drive normally but do you think that they will work if you track your car?
I did some experiments, up to 800gr\full tank with the OMP removed... that won't cause a carbon lock!
You should ask paul andpettit in what conditions they suggest that you use that amount of oil Like everything in life, it's relative!

To put this in some perspective, 4 Oz's is roughly a ratio in metric of 2 mils per litre of fuel..
That is 2 mils per 1000 mils of fuel...almost insignificant...or 500:1
or 8 oz's = 4 mil per 1000 mils (litre) of gas...or 250:1
If you work your engine hard do 8 Oz's

^ what about this ?
By adding just 4 oz of Protek-Rfuel lubricant with an average fill up of 10-12 gallons of fuel, the fuel-to-oil ratio is improved by 100%, or 200:1 and better, Cut Friction Gain Power, use Protek-R.

And that is enough for covering the center lubrication issues for a road driven vehicle...
Would you rely on it for a mostly track driven car? I wouldn't, especially with our temperatures!

For those that actually own a RENESIS I, 99.9 % of members, 4 oz's is insignificant when there is NO oil (MOP) making it to the centre of your Apex Seals.
The ONLY way to get ANY oil there is to ADD PRE-MIX...IMO 4 is not enough, 6 min 8 max.

The argue that 4oz of premix + OMP is not premixing at all.
However, you are very right about the thrown away of side seals springs. I was present when I saw the mechanic to pull out the side seals springs with difficulty like they were stuck and throw them away at the floor of the rotary shop after having examined them optically.

Oh Really?...Gee I never new rotaries has a MOP.

Lets see, several Renesis I engines went over the 100,000 mile mark with absolutely no premix. Most egines die of carbon death and not seal wear. Also, if you actually bother to figure out how much oil mazda injects, you'd realize an additional 4oz is very significant - but don't let logic or facts get in the way of your opinion.
