mechanic says they recommend
At 105 hrs that engine isn’t even broken in yet.
Unless you only do short hops that oil consumption looks to be kinda high for a new engine.
Follow their recommendations.
$1200 now but it may save you a lot later.
You need to catch problems when they start not when they’re fully developed.
(Fixed wing Lycoming experience only)
Don’t be a gringe when it gets to maintenance, at $450-$500k you’re not hurting for money.
Crude but had to be said.
