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..

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.
