Guys,
How many QTS of oil can you hold in your IO540 without spitting it overboard?
Do you have a crankcase vent recovery canister (not sure what they are called)?
Do not archive.

I keep the sump between 9 and 9 1/2 quarts. That seems to be about right for not
blowing out the breather.
I also have a air/oil separator on the breather line and collect that oil in a
small container (I don't return it to the engine). Every oil change I have a
few ounces in the container. It is not much, but a few ounces on the belly can
make a big mess.

I have seen some blow it out quickly down under 8 Qts, and I have seen others hold
9.5-10 Qts. I can't explain. I can just describe.

When I kept losing oil quickly at 8qts the engine builder told me to let it
go until it stabilized. Consistently anything more than 6qts it is lost qu
ickly than stays at 6qts for a few hours before slowwwwly going lower.
Many run 8-10qts=2C that would never work for me. Have an old narrow deck r
ebuilt with Eci cylinders so mine is going to be different than newer engin
es. In the end start at 10qts and let it go until your not seeing oil burn
out quickly. Once stabilized than add =C2=BD quart and see where it stops.

I put in 10 at the oil change, then add a quart around 8. 9 seems to be my
sweet spot. I let it go a little below 8 if I'm coming up on the oil
change.
The D4A5 holds 12. Other models might be different.
