I used to use royal purple when i first started pre mixing with the adapter. But it doesn't really matter to much, now I'm just using Walmart 2 stoke.

Yeah, that Fuchs looks really good; it's FC/FD/TC, and claimed to be low smoke and clean burning.
I fill gas when it needs 8 gallons and put 4 oz. of Mobil 1 2T which is not made anymore, but I'd run this.
Car runs great after 35k miles and 11.5 years.
My 6 speed auto never used much more oil than a piston car.
Don't trust your sohn, put 1/2 oz in gas , also.
That makes sure.

Your cheapest bet is FD-rated Citgo 2-stroke premix oil at Menards. $16.99 gets your the 4 qt bottle.

For those pre-mixing, I've been trying to find the cleanest/quickest option for pre-mixing before fuel fill-ups. For $8 I found an oil spout that I can attach to the current quart I'm driving around with and seal up, keeping messes to a minimum. It has a long clear tube so that I can monitor the fluid flow and assure it is going into the fuel tube instead of the side of my car and is flexible for easy storage.

I found a reference online through Wal-Mart, but I bought mine at O'Riellys and I'm sure any other auto parts store will have them as well.

I personally just use Rotary Bum bottles.
Drive until the fuel light comes on, dump a bottle in, and done.

Those bottles tend to leak. I once had a 1L Peznnoil oil bottle sitting in my trunk organizer. The lid was stripped and undid itself, which made a big mess. The Rotary Bum bottles never leaked, and if their lids break(not often, but it can happen; just don't caveman it), just shoot them an email and they will give you new ones(shipping is free for the States and like $5 for Canada).
It's also better for more precise measurements. Don't have to mess around with the 1L bottle at the gas station.

I didn't get the kit with black cases, just the bottles. I do like that case, though.
I have 6 bottles right now, 2 for premix and 4 for engine oil. The premix bottles go in the straps on the side of the trunk organizer, while the engine oil bottles go in a cut cereal box in the trunk organizer. Works for me.
Some people also out them in the rear console container.

I bought a bunch of these several years ago and they are still going strong.

Just a note I heard about recently regarding the early SAAB 2 stroke engines. The original Sabb engine, a 2 cylinder pre-mix 2 stroke was developed from the DKW 2 stroke as I understand. In any event prior to an oil pump being installed in the late 1950s as the engine was a pre-mix design some problems were noted due to oil starvation from the premix caused by coasting the engine with the throttle closed (say going down a long hill) at high rpm. As the throttle was closed, not enough oil was delivered to the crankcase and this caused some damage. I wonder whether or not the same sort of problem might affect the rotary in similar circumstances if those engines were modified for just a pre-mix.
Fot myself I have elected to add a pre-mix in a 600:1 ratio using Stihl chainsaw oil. The original oil pump of course has not been modified. Of course, it can be argued that 600:1 is of negligible importance, but still, a little oil is always delivered in addition to the oil pump.
Regardless, given the potential for pre-mix oil starvation as outlined above, is it wise to go to pre-mix only in the RX7/8?

And 1:600 is too little to do much. Usually 1:250 is the norm for daily driven cars.

Yes, of course it's the 2 stroke premix oil; (certainly not chain oil). I always liked the absolutely clean internal parts in a chain saw carburetion system and always so slick and lubricated. I will never disable the OMP.
