Engine burns too much oil?
 
Hello everybody, todayvI changed oil as I do every 1000-1500 km, but for the first time I actually measured how much comes out and it was only 500ml. Is this normal?

How much does it normally hold?

Depends where you dump it from if you use the plug with screen, you don't get all the oil out, if you dump it from the opposite side of the screen and tip the scoot sideways all the oil is removed around 700-750ml

the one from the pic (A taotao ATM50 model or other brand clone), usually holds 0.75 liter (a quart of oil just doesn't fit in the crank case).

I wouldn't worry too much about it. You can tip the scooter side to side and even kick the engine over with the kickstarter a few times to get every drop out. If you're truly consuming oil you'll see it go down on the dipstick between oil changes.

I usually put around 800ml, I change it on a hot engine and tilt the scoot on the centrao stand left, right, etc. till the last drop gets out.
