I remember there were several threads about this before the crash, so I thought I'd bring it up again.


What's your experience been like with premixing your gas with Marvel Mystery Oil? Is there any proven fact that it helps? How does it compare with other premixes such as Mobil 1 and Polaris 2 cycle engine oil?


I've been using MMO for several months now and notice that it helps the car run a lot smoother. Doesnt feel any faster, but just feels...clean. Im thinking of putting a little in the engine next time i change my oil, but not sure if it will hurt it.

 

I use 4-8 ozs of Marvel Mystery Oil with every tankful. I have 100K original miles. Probably don't need it with a properly functioning OMP, but it doesn't hurt. Pettit uses a their own premix...I may have saved that post...I'll check.

This is info from Pettit and their brand munufacturor:

Why do we recommend the use of Protek-R in every tank of fuel? The following is a reprint of
the label on the 4 oz bottle of Protek-R:
Pettit Racing
Protek-R
Synthetic Fuel Lubricant

Protek-R is specially designed for use in Rotary Engines. Protek-R is an advanced high performance synthetic lubricity system which contains precision engineered lubricating molecules that help protect Rotary Engines from the damaging effects of molecular shearing and metal to metal contact. Regular use of Protek-R's superior formula has the following advantages:

- Reduced wear on rotor housings and side housings
- Clean Burn Technology reduces carbon and residue build-up
- Ashless, No smoke formula provides cleaner exhaust than 2-stroke oil
- Anti-Oxidation protection against fuel system rust and corrosion
- Low flash point helps stop plug fouling

DIRECTIONS:
Add Protek-R to tank before adding fuel using the following formula:
STREET: Minimum of one 4-oz bottle per full 12 gallon tank
RACE: Mix at Ratio 100:1

NET 4 FL. OZ.

From Page 28 of Rotary Power, our 1st and 2nd Generation RX-7 Performance Parts Catalog:
Rotary Engine Tech Tip

The rotary's oil injection system operates like this: Oil is fed via the engine oiling system (crankcase) to a variable ratio metering pump. From there, it is routed to the engine where it trickles in, partially mixing with the onrushing air-fuel mixture. Fuel-to-oil ratios of 400:1 and higher are common. With over 20 years of rotary experience, we have seen the harsh effects of insufficient lubrication on the delicate internal components of rotary engines. To add to this condition, fuel is of the unleaded variety and designed to CLEAN. High combustion temperatures produced by rotary engines break down the oil film, then today's super fuels finish the job, leaving internal components, i.e. apex seals, side seals, corner seals, etc, void of lubrication. As a result, friction and wear increase, performance and efficiency decrease. Because of this, Protek-R was developed. By adding only 4 ounces to the average fill-up of 15 gallons of fuel, the fuel-to-oil ratio is improved by 100%, bringing the ratio to 200:1 or better. Protek-R can extend rotary engine life by 30% or more, depending on your driving habits and consistency of use.

- Extends engine life
- Reduces internal friction and wear
- Less drag and more power
- Full protection against rust and corrosion
- Blends completely with fuel
- Easier starting
- Carbon free
- 100% synthetic

I use Pettits oil, but I thought I saw a post where it stated that his was actually Polaris synthetic 2-cycle oil repackaged. Can any one verify this?

 

Here is a link to the old thread...it takes a little while to load.
http://7sins.rx7life.com/Premixthread.htm

 

Dood! I told you guys not to let that out in public! Yes, it's Polaris jet ski oil, but don't tell anyone @ Pettit, esp. Cam or Jeff that I told you! They'll beat me!!! Don't believe me? The part # is on the package, call Klotz and ask them what it is... you'll be suprised!

( I was never here, and you never read this post...)

 

You were here, we did read the post, and you gave your name! Assuming Jason is your name. Besides, who cares. Do you think anyone at Pettit will ever take the time to look on this forum? I doubt it highly....they're too busy counting their money from all those overpriced mods.
