Oil Levels.

[Dale Campbell]

Hi Guys,
I have the H model & have the same problem with oil level. When I first got my ship 2 years ago, the mechanic changed the oil & filter. When I picked up my ship the next day, I checked oil & it read 7 quarts. I also found rags laying on top of the oil cooler. I proceed to chew his ass out for not filling both engines & leaving the rags on cooler. He said he did put in 8 quarts plus one for filter. I made him put in one more quart each. 25 hours later I changed the oil myself & found out when you put in 8 quarts it only read 7 quarts. So now I know it always reads a quart lower than what you have. The extra quart did not blow out because I had put on the M-20 air/oil Separators from the beginning of ownership. By the way they work great. I get very little oil on belly & tail feathers.
