How much oil are you guys putting in your (I)O-540 when filling it for the first time? Seems like most people run 8-9 quarts, so I'm thinking 10 would be good (to fill the lines, oil cooler, etc).
Hoping to do the first engine start this weekend.
Thanks...

Rob,
I think you have a good hack on it. I would start with 9-10, plenty to get it running and then run around 9 on the dipstick. I’ve have the same model engine in both my RV-10 and a Skybolt and it seems like anything more than 9 ends up in the slipstream as wasted money.
Good luck with the engine run, clearly one of the more memorable and motivating parts of the project.

I filled my oil cooler when I mounted it (which is recommended) and put 11 Quarts in for first run.

I too filled mine (oil cooler) and I think did 10 or 11 quarts.
I knew 12 would be overkill but wanted to be well above the blow out zone.

I put 10 in mine and it shows a little over 8 on the dip stick. I have mounted 2 oil coolers and have the 1/2 quart filter.

You know, I need to retract what I said below. I just remembered
that indeed I filled it to 12 on the first run. Only the first
10 hours though. I did that because I needed to do it to
do the dipstick markings anyway. I filled the filter, and
the hoses as best as I could, then filled the sump and started
marking off quarts. So my 8qt mark actually includes the
oil cooler and filter to some extent, I think. But I did
run it up to 12 quarts so I could mark up to 12 on the stick.

Thanks, guys... I didn't even think about filling the cooler. I'm using the starter with the lower plugs removed to build pressure before starting. I'm planning on calibrating the dipstick at the 1st or 2nd oil change, though not sure I'll go above 10, since I won't run with more than that.
