Seems anything above 6 1/2 it just leaves...

Yep, we always kept 6 quarts in our O-320-powered Warrior. Anything above
that just blew overboard.

We kept 8 quarts in O-360-powered Archers, for the same reasons.

And we now keep 9-10 quarts in our O-540-powered Pathfinder.

Of course, now we have an air/oil separator, so we *could* keep 12 quarts in
it...

Hi Warrior/Cherokee pilots...

How full do you keep your engine? (oil level? )


5 1/2 - 6 it hardly consumes any oil at all...

Ours is 1976 150 hp Lyc, 600 hrs SMOH, 4 new cyls 60 hrs ago.

Compression all 73 - 76

Aircraft is new to us, we learning it...

Thoughts?
