you only need to premix if you remove your OMP. in that case use 2 stroke motor oil, 1 ounce per gallon, put it in before you fill up with gas so it gets mixed in.

I run my electric OMP and I premix. The OMP is only injecting minimum oil but it is injecting.



I also run 1 ounce per 2 gallons for street and 1 ouce per gallon for track.

Correct me if I am wrong, but, I was under the impression that premix gums up the cat really bad.

Quick question. I was wondering how good the Lucas Semi-Synthetic 2-Cycle High Temp Racing Oil http://www.lucasoil.com/products/display_p...atid=3&loc=show is. I like using the heavy duty oil stabilizer, and I know a lot of other people who swear by the Lucas products. I know it's semi-synthetic, but I was still wondering

I use Pettits Protek.



I have also used the Amsoil Synthetic Premix with good success.



A synthetic premix is ok to use. I dont know much about the lucas line but would imagine its a quality product.
