The right axle nut appears to be a little to tight causing a tendency to turn right when taxiing. Also a right roll that wouldn't trim out has developed. Initially I thought the only thing that changed was the amount of fuel on board and tweaking on the brake heat shields. The autopilot wasn't working well either. During maintenance later I found the right aileron torque tube connection to the universal joint had a little bit of play in it. I tightened it and put some Loctite 680 in it.

I only completed part of Flight test 6 due to turbulence. Nose bob seemed high at about 67 knots, 10,000 DA/8000 MSL.
The oil pressure during flight climbed above 50 psi occasionally.
I changed the oil again and refilled with Aeroshell 100 Mineral oil. Oil usage appears to be stabilizing.
