hey just wondering a couple things

how big is the oil tank on a 08 XP?? 4L i think

and how much should a person be using. Currently i am using a 1/4 (500mL) for every ride, which works out to rougly 30L gas a ride.

Oil use

That is 60/1, which is a little low for that machine unless you at at a low throttle openings most of the time.

oil

BRP says 45 to 1. We like 36/40 to 1.
100 to 1 is not good with any oil!
