    Hi,

    ...." That's why the dipstick says 8 at the top."

    I run mine at 8 too, but it's a fresh E2D which may help in saving the oil instead of blowing or burning it away.

    My opinion: The aircooled aircraft engines (O-320) were designed to throw oil overboard. You're not supposed to save oil. You are supposed to fill it up to 8qts and when it gets to 7, you add a qt. If it gets to 6 you add 2 qts. They don't put this in the manual. You're supposed to figure it out. That's why the dipstick says 8 at the top.
    Comments appreciated.[/QUOTE]

    Why would they design the engine to throw oil overboard????
