If you're using it with your oil metering pump enabled then using about 1 oz. oil/4 gallons gas is a good amount. If you're not using the oil metering pump then 1 oz. oil/1 gallon gas is about right. Just make sure that you use a TCW-3 certified oil. You shouldn't get any smoke, except maybe when the motor is cold.

You add oil in with your fuel, instead of using the oil metering pump.

The benefits of using 2-stroke oil instead of motor oil in rotary engines are, first to have a better and more efficient lubrication, and no carbon build up.

We can even buy a metering pump adapter that allows to feed the metering pump using a small 2-stroke oil tank instead of oil from engine pan. It's a $145.
