Carl, you've done no wrong. You've indeed offered insight as to the possible cause of high oil consumption. Something every owner needs to consider while topping the 0-200 to 6 quarts, every flight.

Thanks, guys! I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding. It's a good reminder that what we THINK we're saying in print doesn't always come across the way we intended. I always proof-read my posts (and often edit) for just that reason.
Carl: Your post was correct and polite. Not sure why someone would take offense to it. Besides, the term "excessive oil consumption" is highly subjective. Especially starting at the 6 qt level. I must have missed where the actual amount was stated. I rarely have to add oil when I keep it at 5.25 (5 of Aeroshell 100Plus and a cup of cam guard), but when I tried 6 qts. I ended up with oil all over the belly. You are highly knowledgeable, keep your thoughts and opinions coming.

I don't know about anyone else, but I took no offense at Carl's post. I value his insight and knowledge about our aircraft and am glad to see him back on the forum.
