Followup, the car uses regular motor oil, so that's certainly an option.

1st thing that comes to mind is detonation, 2stroke oil won't light off like diesel.

Seems we need some subjects to keep this list active.

Lately I've been considering different fuel blends as 2 stroke oil seems very expensive in my area. Not sure if its enviroment tax related or if just that oil burners as just getting rare.

Anyway considering if an unleaded/diesel blend for the rotary is feasable. 

At the moment I'm using 8ml/l 2stroke/91 unleaded blend. Think that translates to 1oz/gallon for anyone not metric.

Havent looked to close yet but I think a 10-20% diesel/unleaded mix might give enough lubrication for the apex seals. Would make refueling easier for me as I have both fuels in bulk on the farm.

Just wondering if anyone knows how to calculate for the eqivelent blends or thinks there could be a downside.
