Hey guys. I recently bought a boat that has a 1995 50 hp 2 stroke oil injected Evinrude on it...I put a mark on the oil reservoir and I have run about 7 or 8 gallons of gas and the oil level in the reservoir has barely dropped at all. The guy at the marine shop here in town jokingly said that the VRO oil pump actually stands for "very rarely oils". He's actually the one who put the mark on my oil tank so I could see how much oil was bing used.
So 2 questions...
1. should I be concerned here? I mean when I crank up the engine, it definitely smokes (which is a good sign as far as oil consumption goes....right?), but I dont really ever notice much smoke once the engine has been cranked for a few min.
2. what are your thoughts about adding some of the 2 cycle oil to my gas tank each time I fill up? Is this a good idea? If so, how much oil should I mix into my 6 gallon gas tank?
