My aircraft has now flown 110 hrs and I have changed my oil from
Mineral oil to Shell 100W 5 hours ago.
( Vans supplied IO-390 )
I am now getting oil dripping on the floor from the Sniffle Valve.
This is approximately the same amount I was getting when I tried to change from Mineral oil to 100W at 50 hrs, I was advised then to put the mineral oil back in and run for another 50 hrs.
Oil consumption while running on Mineral oil is approx 2 qts every 25 hrs and no dripping at all from Sniffle Valve.
Why does this happen when I change the oil ?
Can anyone advise what action I can take ?
