Roger or others.  

      With a 582, one take off and one landing, cruising at 5800 rpm what should the oil usage be?  Should it use the equivalent of 50-1 (12 gallons of gas used and 32 ounces of oil) or will be it somewhat less.  At idle the mark on the oil pump lever is slightly advanced from the mark on the pump which indicates it should be using more oil than normal?  Is the same lever used on all engines?  Seems like each displacement engine should use different amount of oil since they all use different amounts of fuel per throttle opening?  Just trying to know what is right since this is the first Rotax I have used with oil injection. 



Thanks

Dennis

I measured rates between 50 and 70 to one, and ground idle time 

definitely kept things more toward the 50 side of things. Indeed it was 

hard to get it up toward 70.
