I would rather spend $125 or even the $500 you spent if it meant not having to buy a new motor due to lack of lubrication
I've heard that argument when I first bought my FD back 10 years ago.. People back then told me I should be pre mixing my FD... which I never did.. and I didn't loose my engine because of the wear.. And most I know either lost their engine due to bad tune (apex seal) or coolant failure. And for NA RX7, there are people who never pre mix'd go 200K.

If you look at the design of the Renesis, it already shoots in more oil than REW.. I'm sure more oil and premix might help lube the apex and side seals, but personally, I don't think it makes much difference but who knows.. But I think it does more damage when you might either detonate because less fuel is going thru or you get break up because your pump is no longer sending enough fuel.. When I first experienced problem with my 8.. It felt like I was having ignition issues.. Which I didn't know it was the pump until I took it to the dealership.. Hence why I didn't do that job.
