Today I was topping up the oil in the dry sump reservoir tank, after it had been
thoroughly and repeatedly gurgled/burped, thinking that my ULS engine uses a
lot more oil than my old UL 80hp engine did a few years ago. So I decided to
'phone a friend with an identical aircraft and engine, to ask him how much oil
he uses between 50hr oil and filter changes.
My friend in turn asked another owner and their joint reply was between 500ml
and
1 litre per hour. This is about the same as what I think my engine is using,
maybe biased closer to 1 litre.
I'd be interested to know from any of you with the same engine, what you think
your average oil consumption is per 50 flying hours. Many thanks.
