i think the answer is the stuff burns clean... and i am not running the fancy premix you are ... i have run everything from mobile 1 to belray racing (15bucks a qt, wont happen again). to stuff i found at walmart. 4 bucks a qt...

just make sure it is 2 stroke synthtetic oil..

omp or mop.. metering oil pump.. it injects oil direct into the rotor chambers....

in some walmarts if they have lots of boats in town they carry some 2 stroke syn oil. comes in a grey qt... dont have the name off my head...

I have been Pre-Mixing for the last year off and on. I mainly use a low sulpher 2 stroke oil mix. Sometimes I will also mix in something such as a Lucas Oil lube or Marvel Mystery Oil. When I am pre-mixing I normally put in ~ 6 ounces of 2 stroke oil for each time I fill-up the tank. I also change my oil ~ 3,000 miles.

My soot has gone down by about 60% since pre-mixing. Vehicle runs better than ever so dont think the cat is clogging.
