My 09 m8 seams to be useing alot of oil so far and i have close to 600 miles on it so far. I couldnt belive how much oil this pig uses. How do you check the ratio?

Multiply the number of gallons of gas used by 128, and divide this number by the number of ounces of oil that you used. For example, if you used 5 gallons of gas that would equate to 640 ounces (5x128=640). If you used 16 ounces of oil on that ride your ratio would be 40:1 (640/16=40), or 40 parts gas to 1 part oil. I typically target a ration of 40-50:1.
