Air/Oil Separator

[hharney]

Try using the simplest term for search items. 3 letter words don't work so just use "separator" and you should see some related posts. Sometimes words get misspelled so try several attempts; like seperator, separetor etc

I always thought that maybe the oil separator might be a good idea because cleaning the belly and the tail is such a chore. But then I found out that I was just keeping the oil level too full. Dad use to keep it at 8 qts and add a 9th for long trips. I wore the paint off the belly cleaning it for him. My attempt was keep it at 7 qts and maybe add an 8th if needed but still flying a greaser. So now I let the engine go to equilibrium, about 6 1/2 or so and the belly is sparkling clean and I don't add any oil between 50 hour oil changes (well maybe 1 qt at best).

Where do you keep your oil level?
