b) Oil-temperature
-Max 118°C 245°F
c) Oil capacity
-Maximum sump capacity: 15.13 L 16 US.qt

d) Oil pressure
-Minimum Idling 172 kPa 25 Psi
-Normal 379 - 655 kPa 55 - 95 Psi
-Starting,Warm up,
Taxi and Take-Off 793 kPa 115 Psi
W A R N I N G
It is normal for the oil pressure to "flicker" from 10 to 30 psi (69 to 207 kPa) when
going from upright to inverted flight. During knife edge flights and zero-g flights oil
pressure may drop and the oil system may not scavenge resulting in engine failure
or damage if flight is prolonged.
Knife edge and zero-g flight should not exceed 10 seconds.
W A R N I N G
If oil pressure drops to 0 psi (kPa) the propeller pitch changes automatically to
coarse (high) pitch with a corresponding decrease in RPM.
Apply positive g to avoid engine stoppage.
e) Fuel pressure
-Max 276 kPa 40 Psi
-Min 124 kPa 18 Psi
-Min Idle 83 kPa 12 Psi
