Can someone tell me how much oil an O-540 E4 B5 engine should hold?
My engine will only keep about 8.5 quarts (dipstick reading when cool) and deposits the rest on the belly and tail.
Mods to the engine are: Fuel Injection, 10:1 pistons, inverted oil system
Aircraft: Harmon Rocket II
Thanks,
Jim

IO-540 J4A5 - no upgrades
I put in ten quarts during oil changes. After a short engine run to replace oil in the cooler, etc. I see 9 qts on the dipstick. More and it goes straight to the belly.

Jim,
Mine is a C4B5. Following a change, it takes 11-12 quarts to get to a level of 9 on the stick (after running it). If the tail is lifted to level flight attitude, it indicates 10. The C4B5 is made to sit nearer level which explains the increase. I also have the inverted system.

Jim, I have a C4B5 non inverted with a spin on filter. With no air/oil separator it throws it out above 6 qts doing acro. If I raise the tail it will show 7. My neighbor builds IO540s for airboats and agrees 6 qts is plenty. Any more and you"re adding 50wt humidity to the air...
