Cold starting a Lyco is easy. Warm starting a fuel injected Lyco is not You need a Skytec starter motor...

The cost of oil is not really significant. I pay about £60 for 12 quarts of Aeroshell 15/50 which lasts for 50hrs so that's just over £1/hr - against some £70/hr for avgas. 9qts goes into the engine at the service, leaving 3 for topups and I usually need to buy 1 more quart during the 50hrs.
