Mercury Optimax 90 DFI........Oil Usage

[GeoFisher]

Guys.......

How much Oil should my Mercury Optimax 90 burn.......I'm thinking I'm using WAY, WAY too much oil. I was at Dale this weekend, and Patoka Last weekend. Between the two, I Used about 16 gallons of gas.

For that 16 gallons of gas, I burned about 80 ounces of oil. S0, 16 gallons of gas = 2048 ounces of Gas.

So, 80 ounces of oil to 2048 ounces of gas.......This comes out to 25 to 1, which ####......especially at the cost of this OIL.

Any ideas, or is this RIGHT.

Thanks,

Geo

George: You need to take that engine to the dealer and have them check it out. Your 90 Opti is using about a whole lot more oil than my 225 Opti. Almost sounds like your computer is set for break in usage.
