Premix at the pump

Wow, so many differing opinions! I was initally wondering because my FC's oil pan gasket is seeping and I haven't been able to fix it yet. The premix is an insurance policy. I was also thinking along the lines of ClassicAuto and how premix is probably better for the engine than the engine oil.

How is premix a safety measure for your oil pan seeping?

I know, I know, I've been putting off getting the oil pan gasket fixed. Wishful thinking, really, like the premix will somehow stave off my engine's destruction in case the oil pan somehow goes dry (the seepage is very slow, however, and I check the oil level religiously). I'll have to put it off a little longer. We're going to get slammed with over a foot of snow all this weekend, so I won't be able to get it to the shop.

Heh, alright then. Had me a bit worried.

You can just use black RTV and not have to worry about a gasket. Hell, my new Mazda 6 didn't come with a gasket from the factory, just RTV.
