I usually check oil level post-flight. The oil is warm and easier to burp.
Before I get blasted, my plane is hangared and I am the only one with a key. I fly it 3-4 times a week and check for leaks before and after flying.
The question;
Today I burped and checked level before flying (cold engine). The level was below the “flat” so I added oil, it took 10 oz to be at 1/3 flat. When I landed I checked it and it was 1/4 flat above the top of the flat. The level should be in the middle of the flat. Is that on a cold or warm burp / oil? It is significantly different.
