Why would it be bad? The Rotary is designed to inject oil to lubricate seals. You added the Sohn adapter to inject clean oil instead of dirty engine oil.

Adding a bit extra Lube via premix to the FUEL being sprayed into the combustion chamber will only benefit in providing even more lubrication. I see no negative side effect, if the proper oil is used that will burn off clean.

I premixed for over 100K miles now on the original engine. No Sohn adapter, 6 oz Idemitsu per fillup.
​​​​​​​No problem I'm aware of.
