My new plane W/-582 has oil injection and i have never used oil injection
befor so im getting used to topping it off. it looks like my last 2 nites
flying four short flights 4 landings and take offs with taxing and such
I burned 9 gallons gas in 2.2 hrs and used 12 oz of semi synthetic oil.=0A
Is this a safe amount? of oil for that many gallons of fuel over that time
on the tiny tac? =0Amal=0A=0AMalcolm & Jeanne Brubaker =0AMichigan Sport Pi

9 gallons gas and 12oz. oil is 96:1, not good. You should be running
closer to 50:1. (The injection system will run 70:1 at idle, but you
probably didn't idle very much.) Don't know what to tell you to look
for, other than making sure both carbs have evidence of oil. It looks
like maybe only 1/2 the system is working.
