1985 Suzuki SP600, 4-stroke. I went to drain the oil, which has a 2.3L capacity. I had to stop draining when my gallon jug filled. After I noticed the odor of gasoline, i felt the oil and it was not the right viscosity, it was too thin. I'm guessing there were a couple liters of gas mixed in with the oil. The bike was running just prior to that, although it was blowing black smoke. It may take a while for the new oil to "seal"up the rings and even longer for the rings to re seat.there may be residuel oil and gas in the breather that will be sucked into the intake for a few seconds after start up.Bottom line is change the oil and run but carfully monitor the oil level and don't expect the smoke and rough running to go away Thanks for getting back, well I'm going to go into a little theory here. Gas/oil dilution is a natural occurrence that happens on all internal combustion gasoline engines, what has plagued this engine model is most of the time the engine doesn't get a chance to get up toe a good operating temperature to burn off the fuel that has been pushed past the rings under normal operation conditions. A reader asks: A lot of motorcycle owners use Shell Rotella T6 diesel oil in their engines/transmissions. Is there any downside to using diesel motor oil in motorcycles? As Shell Rotella can be found fairly cheap, why would I want to use the more expensive AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils?
My engine light went on a couple days ago so today I decided to check my fluids and come to find out my oil smells like gas. Why is this happening and how much is this gonna cost to get fixed? I have to drive a good distance for work and I can’t be without a car which is got me super stressed out! I’m hoping for some good new but with car repairs it’s never good news.

When you are changing the oil in your vehicle, one of the worst things to notice is the smell of gas in your oil pan. It means that gasoline is somehow making its way into your engine's oil, a problem that can cost hundreds of dollars to repair. If you guess having gas in oil, the first thing to check is the fuel pressure regulator. Now, remove the vacuum line attached to the regulator and check if there is any raw fuel, there shouldn't be. A vacuum can be applied to the regulator and it should hold vacuum without leaking off.

If you notice gas mixed in with your engine oil, follow these instructions to address a potential leak. The fuel shut-off valve isn’t closed properly. Fuel float in the carburetor being stuck in the open position due to gumming (caused by stale fuel) or debris. Apart from being a severe safety hazard, gas leak from a motorcycle leads to decreased mileage, increased fuel consumption and wastage of gas as well. Gas leaks mean frequent fuel stops and more gas usage. Fortunately, gas leaks can be easily detected with their distinctive smell and fumes. If you are asking yourself: why is my motorcycle The most common cause of motorbikes leaking oil from the exhaust is that there is a greater proportion of this fluid recommended for gasoline blending. This mismatch causes excess oil to be removed from the exhaust. Generally, the percentage thereof should be 2% but it is best that you consult the manual of your bike to check. 1985 Suzuki SP600, 4-stroke. I went to drain the oil, which has a 2.3L capacity.

Gas getting into oil becomes a cause for concern when the volume of gas exceeds 2.5 percent. If a large amount of gasoline does get into the engine oil; change the oil immediately upon fixing the problem that has allowed this to happen.
Something that always starts an argument is what is the best motorcycle oil to use: synthetic or dino. Any opinion on that, Kevin? In a very few cases, there have been engines for which only
