Mine was at 4 quarts when I got it. 8.5 hours later it is still at 4
so apparently
not throwing or burning any at the 4 quart level. C-90 engine on a 415C.

Kevin, I try to keep mine about the same,I add oil spareingly, and
watch the temp gage. If the oil temp starts to climb, it's time to

mark? Mike @ C35
