Guy,

Everybody decides to do what they think is best.

For me, after 6+ years of Skymaster ownership, it is clear that if I maintain an oil level of more than six quarts on the dipstick (which would be seven quarts, including the quart in the filter), the excess blows out on the belly at a great rate. The belly requires very little lubrication in normal operation...

Sometimes the manual is wrong. As an engineer on other products (including aerospace products), I know that to be true from personal experience.

Blue skies,

Kevin
