The IO550N does just fine with 5-6 quarts of oil. If I put more
than that in mine…it blows it out.

Subject: [LML] 550 Sniffle snot
Following the recommended priming procedure of 2 to 5 seconds
High Boost pump with the mixture in prior to engine start, results in Oil
drooling the length of the fuselage. I routed the hoses from each cylinder
to avoid any low spots that would accumulate fuel/oil. Any
suggestions?
Oh yeah, when I tried to put more than 7 quarts of oil in my
8 quart sump after a filter change I really had a huge mess.
