Series1 RX-8s have 2 injectors pointing at the side seals, Series 2 adds a center injector to help with lubricating the center of the apex seal. Mazda added this, so they must have found excessive wear in the center of the apex seal, so it’s circumstantial evidence for the need to premix.

When to put premix in a series I RX8?
All you need is a two-stroke oil that says “Meets or exceeds ISO or JASCO” on the bottle. 4-6oz per tank is what I run. I let the tank get to almost empty then I put the premix in before I fill up at the gas station. If you have a series I RX-8 (2004-2008) I recommend doing this even if your car runs fine.
