Guys,

I am trying to find out how much more (or less) oil a 2 stroke uses
compared to a 4 stroke.

Thus, I need to know about your 4 stroke motor (inboard or outboard):

- Horsepower, brand
- amount of oil it takes for an oil change (incl filter)
- how often do you change your oil (how many hours)
- how often does the manufacturer recommend you change the oil?
- Does your motor burn or lose oil? Do you have to top up in between
oil changes?

Don't have specs in front of me, so I can only answer the last question
regarding my Johnson 1996 15 hp 4 stroke (model J15FREDR). It consumes
NO
oil between April and November. Zero. I change it twice during that time
period, and based on memory, that's about twice as often as OMC
recommends.

Ok How much oil do you need for an oil change?

What's the difference? :-) I mean, are you collecting this information in
order to make a purchase decision? Or, what?

Matt is a spy for Halliburton.

Later,

Tom
