Folks,
I was wondering where the oil goes that the DFI motor pumps to the
crankbearings. Does it accumulate in the crankcase and eventually
gets dragged in the cylinders and burned? Is this the oil the DFI
motor burns as it has no oil in the fuel itself? I couldnt find
info
about this in my optimax shopmanual ..
Karen maybe you know this?

Yes; just as you know who says:-) it's supposed to be "burnt". It is
injected in such small amounts at idle that it doesn't really go
anywhere at idle, till you rev up then any excess gets "transferred"
&
probably some does actually get burnt.
However, because it's undiluted raw oil, a good part of it goes
straight out the exhaust port still as raw oil.
So when people comment about the absence of "smoke" from the DFIs
that's true, because the oil isn't diluted with fuel.
You've probably noticed it's a bit oily around it's nether
regions:-)
