I've got an O-470-R. When the engine is cold and has been cold for a while the dipstick reads ~ 15 quarts which is absurd. Even after wiping the dipstick and re-checking it reads that high. After running the engine and I check it, it reads normal levels (~10 quarts). I know for a fact there are 10 quarts in the engine so why would it be reading so high when its cold? It's a taildragger (180H), but the dipstick accounts for that and it reads normal when warm.
Clogged crankcase breather? @Tom-D
