Hi Bobby.

Are you using the renesis oil pan?
I seem to remember the renesis had a plastic manifold that I thought in combination with the pan worked to reduce foaming and oil loss out of the sump.
I thought the use of synthetic oil may also play a roll in reducing the oil loss via a breather.

Was there a good deal of gasses escaping through that vent Bobby?
I take it the boost pressure might exaserbate the problem.

I’m concerned that at times I’m seeing a small oil level drop between flights were previously the level grew as a result of the oil added to the fuel ending up in the sump.
With only a small 3/16 vent that shows no sign of oil exiting I hadn’t given it any thought till now, but pondering this oil usage.
Ive seen no signs of oil seal leakage.

Cheers

Steve
