Filled the IP with fresh oil via the top bolt (17 mm wrench). I'll check if it is fresh or black when I take the plug out again which may give an indication of oil flow rate.
Still like to know how much oil and at what rate it should be flowing into and out of the IP when running.

Reasonable little feed required if there is no intent to use the oil to carry away heat. That introduction of oil then need only be at a drip rate. May be a requirement to pre fill is a reasonable suspicion.
