CAPACITY OF ENGINE SUMP
l~he engine has a total capacity of
9
quarts, with the oil filter
accounting for approximately one quart of that total. The engine oil
[sump has a capacity of 8 quarts. The engine must not be operated
on less than 4 quarts (as measured by the dipstick). For extended
flights, the engine should be filled to capacity.
OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE
After the first 25 hours of operation, drain the engine oil sump and
replace the filter. Refill sump with straight mineral oil and use until a
total of 50 hours has accumulated or oil consumption has stabilized;
then change to
ashless dispersant oil. Ashless dispersant oil (and
oil filter) should then be changed at time intervals set forth by the
engine manufacturer.
NOTE
During the first 25 hour oil and filter change, a
general inspection of the overall engine compartment
is required. Items which are not normally checked
during a preflight inspection should be given special
attention. Hoses, metal lines and fittings should be
inspected for signs of oil and fuel leaks, and checked
for abrasions, chafing, security, proper routing and
support, and evidence of deterioration. Inspect the
intake and exhaust systems for cracks, evidence of
leakage, and security of attachment. Engine controls
and linkages should be checked for freedom of
movement through their full range, security of
attachment and evidence of wear. Inspect wiring for
security, chafing, burning, defective insulation, loose
or broken terminals, heat deterioration, and corroded
terminals. Check the alternator belt in accordance
with Maintenance Manual instructions, and retighten
if necessary. A periodic check of these items during
subsequent servicing operations is recommended.
