Re: DA62 oil consumption

The RH Engine Dip Stick is difficult at first but once you master the technique below, it becomes very straight forward:

Unscrew the dip stick and pull vertically upwards as far as you can go, then bring the dip stick handle towards you and out.

A little practice and you will have it mastered. 👍👍
