Scroll down on the Rotax email to find a short video on oil injection. Don't know if it is good or bad. Did not take the time to watch it.

From: "pipercolt" Thanks Jim for your reply. I have ridden snowmobiles since the 70,s and obviously a lot of things have changed when it comes to oil. The man that I purchased my 582 from ran 90 to 1 all the time with no problems. I will be doing the same thing. I wonder why Rotax recommends 40 to 1 for a 583 engine. That engine puts out about 105 horsepower and uses RAVE valves.
