got a new rxtx 300. At 4 hours the super charger failed and also ruined the motor , my awesome dealer replaced everything with new , new super charger new motor etc... However, now it seems to be burning through oil rather quickly. At 5 hours I added 2+ qts bc the oil light came on and no oil was registering on the dipstick. At 10 hrs same thing, oil light and no oil registered on the dipstick??? The machine seems to running well otherwise. Any thoughts.... ty

You need to make sure that you aren't overfilling the oil. This ski's oil need to be somewhere near the minimum to operate efficiently. If not, the oil will flow to the intercooler, and clog it. Its been documented in Greenhulk.

I suggest you check your intercooler pipes, and make sure that they arent gummed up. If there is a thick sheen, you need to remove the intercooler, and run some gasoline through it. Also, its best to run a oil catch can on the 300s.
