Colyn,
I am using a Lancair Brake Fluid Reservoir that looks like it
holds about 3 oz. So far my Andair Air/Oil Separator has collected almost
no moisture or oil. My 550 has about 40 hours since top (pistons, rings
and hone). Previously, you may recall I was blowing so much oil out the
breather that no measurement was necessary, but that is another story.
My Lycoming O-360 in the RV-6 with 1300 hours uses a quart of
oil in 15 hours and will catch about 1.5 oz of 75% oil and 25% water in 25
hours. Winter flying will add maybe a half oz of water for 2 oz total.

I do have a cooler door and was able to get oil temp over 200 on the last
flight, at 12,500. The other day I was running at 32" at 4,500 for
45 minutes and couldn't get it that high even with the cooler door closed.
Question
for you: how much water do you see in the catch tank and how does that
compare with the amount of oil you get?
b.t.w.
how big is your catch tank?
