Engine
Teledyne Continental............................................................IO-360-ES
Power Rating........................................................ 200 hp @ 2700 rpm
Maximum RPM.......................................................................2700 rpm
• Note •
Due to the mechanical design of the propeller governor, it is
normal for the engine to temporarily exceed 2700 RPM during
some phases of flight. If necessary, a slight reduction in
throttle setting will decrease the RPM to keep the engine
operating at or below 2700 RPM.
Oil Temperature........................................... 240 °F (116 °C) maximum
Minimum Oil Temperature for Takeoff...............................75 °F (24 °C)
Oil Pressure:
Minimum ............................................................................... 10 psi
Maximum ............................................................................ 100 psi
Approved Oils:
Engine Break-In: For first 25 hours of operation or until oil
consumption stabilizes use straight mineral oil conforming to MIL-
L-6082. If engine oil must be added to the factory installed oil, add
only MIL-L-6082 straight mineral oil.
After Engine Break-In: Use only oils conforming to Teledyne
Continental Specification MHS-24 (Ashless Dispersant Lubrication
Oil) or MHS-25 (Synthetic Lubrication Oil). Refer to Section 8 - Oil
Servicing. Oil viscosity range as follows:
All Temperatures ..............................................15W-50 or 20W-50
Above 40 °F (4 °C)............................................. SAE 50 or 20W50
Below 40 °F (4 °C) ................ SAE 30, 10W-30, 15W50, or 20W50
Fuel Grade ................Aviation Grade 100 LL (Blue) or 100 (green)
