Pre-mix is designed to work with internal seals.
I'd question the Idemitsu ratios - maybe for intact OMP's?
Run the usually 100:1 - 150:1 ratios for "normal" driving.
128:1 is perfectly fine.

Also, I wouldn't worry about the compression test numbers.
The more important thing is that they are even.
Numbers will come up.
Different compression gauges will show different numbers.
A sweeping analog needle is something not very accurate in terms of watching for peaks - this is why Mazda used a digital display for their compression tester.
