## Discrepancy

OWNER/OPERATOR COMPLAINS THAT HIS ENGINE USES EXCESSIVE OIL OVER SHORT AND LONG FLIGHTS, SOME TIME AS MUCH AS (2) QUARTS  IN LESS THAN A 2 HOUR FLIGHT.  REPLACED STARTER ADAPTER ASSY WITH NEW PART FROM MFG AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURS WITH OIL BEING PUMPED TO THE OIL SEPERATOR DURING THE GROUND ENGINE RUN. A COPY OF FAA FORM 8130-3 AND SHIPPING DOCUMENTS ARE ATTACHED TO THIS SDR WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. (K)
