I agree, Ernest
I have been flying for over 11 years now and the most I
ever fly with is 4 1/2 -5 quarts of oil. Before I had my current sump
it was as little as 3 quarts. The only time I ever put oil in the system
is during oil change - YMMV.

I had poured a gallon and a half into the engine, and I'm sure
that all the air pocket hadn't been filled. For instance, I'm sure the
cooler was still empty cause I'd never gotten the temperature up to open the
valve. I'm not seeing the point of flying around with nearly two gallons
of oil.

seems like I had to drill 3 holes and install helicoils to make it work.
Takes 8 quarts to fill it up from dry. No leaks so
far.

Well, maybe
not. I just checked and it is bent on the bottom. It does have
the oil level sensor in it tho…

What
I have began life as an FC pan. I cut off the flange, and layed up a
fiberglass sump. It has a slow leak at the rear, right where the glass
meets the flange. You know, where it was difficult to test. If I
could fit the Renesis pan, I think I would. Except for the bolt pattern,
I think it would slide right in with out requiring in further
modifications.
Kelly, do you have any FC
pans?
