What level do you try and keep the oil at? As I understand it, the O-360 has a longer stroke so if the oil pan is the same size the crank throws will be more likely to hit the oil in the pan resulting in oil being thrown out than in the O-320. My limited experience with O-320's is that they will spit out oil until it gets down to a certain level (often around 6 qts) and then stop spitting out the oil. Does your oil loss stabilize at some point or do you keep topping it up?

Just looking at the recent archive files I see that someone is using this
oil separator. Never seen this one before, and certainly a lot cheaper than
the ones from ACS. How does it work? Is it any good?

I may have to bite the bullet and get an oil separator for mine. My new 360
really spews out the oil, much more so than my old 320. I only get about 7
hours per qt. I was double that with the 320, and even it was a little wet
underneath. But this one actually drips out of the tube, when I put it back
in the hangar.
I tried repositioning the outlet at the bottom, but to no avail. I think I
have quite a strong low pressure area there with my big cowl exit, and small
stock inlets. My cooling is very good, though, with this engine, so nothing
to change there.
Anybody have any other suggestions?
Walter
