[QUOTE="InitialD, post: 4200597, member: 4678"] Yes it does make a difference. That's why rotary engine car owners uses 2T as a premix or Marvel Mystery Oil. FYI, Rotary engine pump a little bit of the engine oil from the oil pan into the combustion chambers to lubricate the apex seals (it's like the piston ring in a piston engine). That's why there are [B]specially formulated synthetic engine oil for rotary only[/B] or the default is to use [B]mineral oil[/B] as they [B]burn clean[/B] inside the rotary engine combustion chamber. Simply put, the rotary engine internal lubrication is similar to a 2-stroke motorbike engine. If u want to use 2T oil as a premix, you will need to find those with low-ash formulation otherwise it might cause carbon build up. And also make sure it is TCW3 certified type of 2T oil. Marvel Mystery Oil burns clean. I'm sure u can google about Marvel Mystery Oil. From what I know, some people use Marvel Mystery Oil (MMO) to unstuck jammed pistons and also to lubricate the piston rings of newly built (overhauled) engine. It provides the lubrication at initial start up of the newly built engine and burns clean. Some old classic cars also use a dedicated bottle in the engine compartment to pump Marvel Mystery Oil into the combustion chamber to lubricate the piston rings.. very similar to the lubrication of the rotary engine.
