Learn something new everyday. So this means that my 12 quart of oil max engine should be able to function fine all day on 6 quarts?
No, not advocating taking off with only 6 quarts of oil in your Continental. But maybe 8 or 9.
§ 33.39 Lubrication system.

In wet sump engines, this requirement must be met when only one-half of the maximum lubricant supply is in the engine.
