So I have 5 gallons of premix left over, the riding year is over. If I burn it in my car do you guys thing it will mess up the oxygen sensor or the catalytic converter? I feel like mixed gas will mix with the gas in the car's tank and dilute the oil, making it safe to use. Thoughts?

Use it in your mower.

Pour it in at the station and top off with straight.

Good for the valve guides. Want your car to run 300K without a problem, a bit of 2 stroke to each tank is good. A couple hundred to 1.

Same as shit like Gas treatments.....most is just kerosene overpriced in a small bottle.

Sounds good. The ol' girl has 203K miles on her. A little oil would probably be good for her!

2 stroke oil burns cleaner than 5/30 engine oil.

Lead is what ruins a cat. too much oil wouldnt be good, but most fuel cleaners are just Kerosene overpriced in a fancy bottle.

2 stroke oil is also the 3rd best diesel fuel additive now with ULSD in use for a fuel lube.

I use all of mine in my lawn equipment. I do this all year long as I will not put fuel in my bike that is more than a few days old. I have a seperate can that I dump it into just for the lawn mower, weed eater, leak blower and chainsaw.
