I've had multiple conversations with David about oil injection... and yes, his RV installation includes the stock oil injection system, and I believe he uses Amsoil.  Last time we spoke Dave advised me that the oil injection system really doesn't "inject" the oil in the sense that it enters the combustion chamber as a mist or stream, rather that it causes a droplet of the oil to emerge from the injection port and then be wiped away by the apex seal. FWIW.

Except, have you forgotten that there are 4 oil "injection ports?  2 in the rotor housings and 2 in the intake manifold.  At least the ones in the intake manifold are probably intended to aerisolize the oil.

[Thanks for keeping me honest.  You're right, I'd forgotten about the nozzles in the manifold and never asked Dave about them.  Next time we speak, though....
