Whether is a daily driven or a weekend car, hard driving or grandma style driving. it all takes account.one thing i know for sure, carbon kills rotary. carbon lock is the last thing you wanna have. premixing prevents or reduces carbon and gives a smoother ride depending on what you are premixing. too much premix or sometimes, too strong of a formula may eat up yer components. maybe by a hare? not sure. Just a scenario:for example you got your RX7 and u're happy about it. engine sounds ok but could have been a little bit smoother. so you settle for premix solution. carbon has been in yer RE for some time now since the previous owner got too careful with the engine and never revved it up often enough. and one of yer apex seal is cracked. but what holds it from breaking was the sticky carbon. you put the premix in it and figured it would help the engine taking off some nasty gum. that's true. but once those nasty gums are off, WAHLLA....you've got a crack apex seal. and your engine's blown. this is a scenario of a FC few years back. and some has seen cracked apex seal being wrapped by a layer of carbon. some does premix in their engine religiously every routine service for years and still have good results.i personally tried ATF in my engine. 2 spoons of ATF in the engine from the trailing spark plug hole in each chamber. put the spark plugs back. took off the EFI fuse to crank the engine. had the ATF in there for 24 hrs. Start the engine up and take the car out for a drive. Redline the engine for at least 5-7 times if i remember correctly. white smokes all over. that's cool.....got back and change the engine oil to brand new golden engine oil. GOLDEN! if the car got smoother after i did that....ermm.....i guess it was just by a tad. i couldn't really tell the difference. besides, what i did hardly pass off as a proper premix. is more like an advance use of seafoam. hehehehe.....</blockquote>
