my rzr has 150 hours & 1500 miles. It has recently been using oil. average 1qt after 2-3 hrs. not seeing any smoke, but air filter does smell of it. no visible leaks.
I change oil regularly (castrol 5w50 syn) & polaris or fram oil filter.

Can I use lucas engine oil stop leak?
am I looking at a ring job?

any help appreciated

Check your intake for signs of dirt and debris getting past the air filter. This is a fairly common issue on the 800 motor. Dirt gets into the engine and scores up the cylinders allowing oil to work its way around the pistons and into the combustion chamber. Using a heavier weight oil might help as well. The combination of synthetic oil and fuel injection does not product the blue smoke that is a typical sign of burning oil.

Here is another thread about oil consumption as well.
