Greetings RV Family.
I am in the middle of my second oil change on my RV7A. Titan XIO360.
I am wondering what normal should look like regarding oil on the engine.
When I took off the bottom cowling, OI saw that many surfaces on the bottom of the engine are slick, and there is a drop here and there. I am attaching some pics.
The engine does seem to use oil. I put in seven, and after a flight it is six. During preflight, I often find it around 5 3/4 so I add a quart or part of one. The engine never stays filled to seven, but seems to stabilize around six or just under, but I never let it get under five and a half. Just wondering if these pics indicate that there is something that I need to address regarding a leak somewhere.
Thanks!
I've never posted pics before. I am doing what someone suggested in the sticky thread and using google photos. They seem to just be links. Please let me know if this worked and you can see them
