Given the major PITA it is to get at on the N55, this is not good.
GFB reckon their DV+ gets enough oil for operation from the oil mist in the released air, but I have seen posts on other forums of people having sticking issues (but I believe that the majority are fine).
I do wonder if a Turbosmart with a slightly heavier oil (e.g. like our engine oil at 0w30, or 0w40) would be thin enough for correct operation of the piston, but heavy enough to not need servicing very often (as the oil won't burn off).
Anyone tried a heavy oil than Turbosmart's multi oil? |
That does not apply to the F30 version, it doesn’t event have an open top. |
I contacted turbosmart - they said the following :
"If the product you purchase requires servicing, it will be advised in the product manual."
Their n55 dv instructions don't say anything about maintenance, so it must be fit and forget.
