The incompatibility is such that one causes the other to congeal. If you premix don't sweat it, the dilution of the oil in the gasoline takes care of the difference, but if your Rotax engine has an oil injection pump you have to make a clean change over. Here's a simple way to do it. Empty the oil tank, remove it from its mount with the lines up to the pump and clean it and the line with some clean gas, Use the gas you cleaned with and mix a gallon or two of premix. Put the premix in your fuel tank. Remount and reconnect the oil tank and lines, fill it half way with clean gas. Start the engine and warm it up to operating temps, shut down. Drain the gas from the oil tank and fill with your new favorite oil (I went with Pennzoil Marine Full Synthetic, because I can almost always get it at the local Wally's in gallons). Drain the float bowl(s) of your carb(s). Start the engine and bring to operating temps again (I'm extra cautious about the tiny amount of gas left in the pump and want to make sure the engine always has oil). Fill your fuel tank with fresh gas and go fly. The whole process takes about thirty minutes start to finish.
