Hi Folks,
I have a O-360 narrow deck engine. (Not in a RV unfortunately) I've spent the winter stopping all the leaks. I'm seeming to be burning/blowing about a 1/2 quart every 2 hours. I've had the level anywhere from 7 quarts down to as low as 4.75 on the stick. I'd like to try to keep it at 6qt on the dipstick. Engine has compression around 74-76 all all cylinders. My exhaust temp seems work best around 1280 degrees. Who knows if it's accurate. Any suggestions on how to best find the right oil level to minimize usage? Thanks.
