Ok my 2011 600rs how much oil should I mix with 10liters of gasoline and 40liters of gasoline

3 comments:
Mr. Anderson
February 14, 2025

The recommended fuel/oil ratio for the 2011 Ski-Doo MX Zx 600 RS is 33:1.

- For 10 liters of gasoline:
\[ 10L ÷ 33 = 0.303L (or 303ml) of oil \]

- For 40 liters of gasoline:
\[ 40L ÷ 33 = 1.212L (or 1212ml) of oil \]

So, mix 303ml of oil with 10 liters of gasoline and 1212ml of oil with 40 liters of gasoline.
