oil blow out IO-360
I have an IO-360-A3B6 900 SFNEW in '97. I used to be able to keep about
7 quarts in it without it blowing out. Now it seems to be blowing oil down to about 5.5 quarts. Since I live in the 100F OATs part of the country, the extra oil really helps cooling. Should I worry about what is causing the extra oil blow out or just chock it up to an aging engine. I know some engines always blow out to 6ish quarts. If I shouldn't worry about the extra blow out I'll just put a separator on it, but I don't want to mask a problem first. One recent change is we raised the oil pressure since the regulator had been slipping prior to annual. -Robert
