Will premix make my engine last significantly longer ?

Will using a premix on my s4 na make the engine last significantly longer ? I am strongly considering it, only if it has some big advantages over using the stock omp system... ( Longer lasting engine)

Define significantly... Adequate engine maintnance will get the engine to live significantly longer,..

The question isn't whether premix will have the engine live longer, but rather if the stock system of lubrication is/not " adequate"

It's debatable. Most of the rebuild guys around here say premix is better, but other disagree. I premix because my oil lines were shot and i didn't feel like replacing them. You can search for this topic, it has been discusses several times.

My OMP seems to be working fine, but I add MMO or 2 cycle oil to my gas anyway.
Might make no difference at all, but it makes me FEEL better.

MMO is *not* a lubricant, so be careful you.
