2007 Sea Doo RXP, 155: White Exhaust, oil consumption.

[sunnydjG]

Thank you for checking out my post:


I'm looking for some feedback from the group.

I've been riding ski's since 2008 and other recreational vehicles since 1984.

I have a 2007 Sea Doo RXP, 155.


I have spent the last three days on the water off and on. The ski is running well, performance wise. I do have a concerning issue, though:

I have white exhaust coming out of the exhaust pipe, especially (mostly) visible at idle. On the third day I added two quarts of oil and on that day it consumed 3 quarts of oil after riding for half a day or so.

Any insight to what I'm experiencing.

Ideally I'd like the white exhaust to go away

and

not have to add three quarts of oil each time I ride. lol.


The rest of the ski is clean: body, engine bay, engine, pump, fluids.

Ran great except white exhaust and oil consumption.


Thanks

Anybody out there??


I have an idea of the general diagnosis for these symptoms but was hoping to get some ideas from people who specifically experienced this on a 4-stroke ski. Or from an SBT tech.


I'm knew to posting in the forum world so if I'm missing something, bring me up to speed.

oh, well.lol.

I found a great article:

https://atomium.eu/home/excessive-oil-consumption/


"WHY DO WE HAVE SUCH INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION?Large or increased oil consumption occurs for the following reasons:
• Poor quality oil;
• Increased wear of piston assemblies;
• Loss of oil rings mobility;
• Valve stem seals don’t work;
• Defective crankcase ventilation;
• Oil leaks;
• Oil release into the exhaust pipe through the turbine;
• Oil release in the cooling system."


A general explanation of oil consumption due to these factors.

I'll check back every once in a while and see if anyone added anything.

Have you done a compression check and a leak down test?

I can run a compression test.

What range in PSI would be good on the compression test?


Thank you

Normally aspirated 4-TEC's are normally in the 175-200 PSI range.
