[QUOTE="blackduc98, post: 1247838, member: 65764"] Not to dispute what your mechanic said, but I'm just curious: how much and how often did you put premix in your truck? How diluted was it with normal gasoline? If I dilute 1 gallon of 50:1 premix with 20 gallons of normal gasoline, that yields 1000:1 gas-to-oil ratio, thus 20 gallons of gas will contain 2.5 oz of oil. 20 gallons lasts me about 1.5 weeks, so this is roughly equivalent to burning 1 quart of engine oil every 6 weeks. That consumption rate is not too far from high mileage older cars, but those older cars are burning oil [b]all the time[/b] whereas I burn my old premix only occasionally. I agree it's not the greatest thing for my car, but it seems like the best way to get rid of old premix. I suppose it would be better to dilute premix even more. BTW, I thought that the active ingredient in catalytic converters is platinum rather than ceramic? [/QUOTE]
