Same oil in slight variant of 360. Works well, burns only about 1 qt per
hundred hours.

Are you extrapolating that burn rate? I change my oil long before 100 hours.

Actually, that would not be correct, sorry.

I usually put in a quart at about fifty, and change it at 85 -100. I do
about 225 to 250 a year, and the oil seems to hold up fine with only
changing every 100 hours.

Also, I only add at 4.5 qts but it shows 6 after a change. So, I add one qt
between changes, but likely burn 2.5 to 3 per 100 hours.

Perhaps I could get a job as a government accountant?

Right now we're running Aeroshell 100 straight mineral oil during break-in
on our factory reman Lyc. IO-360. After that, we plan to use Aeroshell
15W50
