Richard,
As you know my bird has the same 912s as yours. Difference is that mine does
not consume any noticable amounts of oil. She has done 270 hours using
recomended semi-synthetics.
Until today, I thought that this normal. I would not have thought 1-2 litres
to be normal every 50hours.
No doubt someone will be responding to suggest that using 'no oil' is
something to worry about, but I will worry about that when it happens. Nor
do I have nicotine stains. Cow shit, yes!
There is probably nothing to get too concerned about immediately, but I
would suggest that you keep very careful records of oil/hours from now on to
identify any trends at the earliest.You probably dont need advice as obvious
as that though.
Very best regards. Bryan.G BYSA
PS. Why arent you doing the Six Nations thing?
