Love to hear a concenses on this....maybe Jolly will jump in.
Oil change as per manual...however, when I check oil level (cold), it is halfway up the stick (middle of recessed part). After getting plane to 120+ (shutting down), propping 20+ times...the oil level is 1/2?+ above full mark (you can see oil almost to top plate.
Oil change was done with cold engine....propped around 15 turns. I?m wondering if engine oil should be hot when changed I.e. because maybe not all oil is transferred to tank (with new tight engine maybe blow by {oil cold} is hard to move oil.
