Hi Dave,
I used to check it after each flight, and still do occasionally if really
necessary. However, after burning my thumb and finger so often I am very
circumspect about doing this now unless I am hanging around for an hour or
so!
The nice thing is that allowing for the level 'ups and downs' I don't seem
to use much at all between 50 hour replacements. Nice engine, the 912.
Regards,
Peter

Subject: Re: Europa-List: Oil Level
What I have done is to check the oil at the end of every flight. Since I am
the only one flying it, I can check the airplane the next time I fly. If no
oil
is leaking, then the oil level should be OK. Looking at the level of oil at
start will make sense depending on how long the airplane has sat and what
the
level was after the last flight. One other consideration is that the engine
flew with the old dip stick for years. This new one is just more
conservative, I
think. Just keep it topped off!
