True, but that's still a lot of oil in 2 hours... unless he went through 50
gal of fuel.

We just got a new mercury optimax 135 hp (four cycle, of course) and
during its break-in it used a lot of oil. Is this normal? And how much
is too much and should I start worrying? (If everything was full from
the dealer, it was about 2 gallons low of oil after 2 hours of break-in.)

Optimax is a 2 stroke. Fuel injected.
