Don't use just oil, it'll clog up your pump. Use premix.

Though... premixing is a very controversial idea right now, I use to premix then I stopped.

Have you ever looked at the apex seals of our rotors after about 80k miles? The corners of the apex seals are different colored than the center. This suggests (to some) that the Renesis does not have sufficient lubing so people started to premix to decrease wear and tear on their motors. If you look at the 16x, they added a third oil injector to fix that problem.

You're talking about Idemitsu 2-Stroke Rotary Premix.

That's what I was running before my 8 was totalled. I only used premix for about a year then I stopped, I figured that by the time I hit 80k miles, I'll rebuild the motor and possibly street port it. Though, I think it's a good idea to premix for those who are not regular on oil changes.

It's not a bad idea but it's not needed to premix. You can just upgrade to the Mazmart (though they're out of business) OMP Upgrade. Premixing is just a luxury in my opinion.
