My Sx 700 drinks oil. The oil pump is set to the recomended spec. The last time out it ran 25:1. Just as a reference my 2002 SRX runs between 75:1 and 100:1. Any body know what ratio its supposed to run? Should I adjust past the factory spec?

I believe it's supposed to be somewhere around 40:1.

They are know to be hogs on oil. I thought my buddies sx pump was gone also with the amount of oil it was using. Upon further reading i found to set the pump a 1MM or 2 before the line as the factory ran them rich. Did this and the sled used about 50:1 on a tank of gas to oil. Much better and it ran a whole lot better also!

I believe that if the pump fails it pumps oil at the max level to prevent a lean condition. When this happened to my 1997 SX700 I replaced the pump and that solved the problem.
