2 different BRP oils?

[NX EXA]

Nx exa, sorry I pirated your thread I think he was aiming this toward me,because I asked if it was worth the money in a older ski to run synthetic blend. And Pointhunter I can afford what ever the F_____ I want,get off the coffee......

It's all good. I didn't get a chance to read the other posts as I had to bolt back to work. I barely finished typing my last post.

After being on here for only two weeks I've come to learn that oil topics are very touchy.

At last count, I think at least 10 cats lost their lives this evening, LOL!

As in oil to gas?

From a full tank of oil on my XP, it takes roughly 3 gas tanks to get to the point where the low oil light comes on. The gas tank on a XP is 14 gallons. So, at 14*3 gas, 42 gallons, consumes about a 1/2 gallon of oil. But these are all ROUGH numbers. According to www.Mint.com I spent $764 on gas last month. (Includes cars though). Anyway, that's almost an 80:1 ratio. I'd say 40:1 premix would waste a lot of oil, and be a hassle to fill on the water.

80:1 - That's pretty high. I bet you don't run fast a majority of the time, short bursts?

I kinda lost track on how much I've used this year, gas and go I guess. I don't fill my oil tank in case it decides to spring a leak, so I'd have the count jugs and, well, just haven't. I don't ride the entire time but I run high in the throttle of course, being a boat, about 5300RPM mostly aside from short bursts and hole shots then back down to 5300 cruise. I doubt I've burned two gallons this year, but it's probably getting low again by now.....

the XP usually rides around 5300-5500 RPM, as it won't stay on plane below that. the GTX can be ridden around 4,300 to save fuel.

it's WOT a bit, but with a confined riding area (river) 60 MPH only does you so much good.

Maybe it's 3/4 gallon to 42 gallons. I don't know, don't really care, long as it works

Yeah, still it's gonna be a whole lot less oil consumed than running pre-mix. Interesting you have to run 5300 RPM to stay on plane, I'd have expected less due to less weight then my BARGE weighs.

I'm sure you've torn down your fiar share of 951 engines, how large of an oil puddle in the bottom of the crankcase do you typically find, does the inside seem to have plenty of oil everywhere? That's how I like to judge if there's enough oil, you should find some inside (a surprising amount is nice) during a teardown.
