The engine will run for some time with the OMP not doing anything. Some
of my gifted engines have had the hoses broken off. There will be a slight
amount of oil added from the oil scrapers on the rotor sides not being perfect.
The scrapers will also scrape off unburned fuel and mix it with the
crankcase oil. High oil temps will remove most of that fuel through the
breather. Note that crankcase breather gases are explosive. A good reason to
smell the dipstick when ever it is out.
So, as the engine wears out the scrapers it starts needing less top oil.
The only downside to injecting into the housings is poor distribution. It
leaves a boat wake looking stain on the chrome. So, it looks to me like some of
that microscopic amount of oil is discarded without helping anyone. It seems to
me that the best case is the premix. If I were to use the OMP, I would drop it
all in behind the Throttle Body, or into each throat on a carb. Or if you are a
purist, into the float bowl.
Years ago synthetic crank case oil was specifically not recommended by
Mazda. (because of gumming)

seem to me that using the OMP with 2-cycle oil in this scenario is
significantly different than pre-mix. But is it as effective, more
effective, or
worse??
