8.19 OIL REQUIREMENTS
The oil capacity of the engine is 8 quarts and the minimum safe quantity
is 2 quarts. It is recommended that the oil be drained and renewed, and
the screen cleaned, every 25 hours. However, if the full flow (cartridge type)
oil filter is used, the oil and filter should be drained and renewed every 50
hours of operation. The interval between oil and oil filter change is not to
exceed four (4) months. The following grades are recommended for the
specified temperatures:
MIL-L-6082B MIL-L-22851
Average Ambient Mineral Ashless Dispersant
Air Temperature SAE Grade SAE Grades
All Temperatures -- 15W-50 or 20W-50
Above 80°F 60 60
Above 60°F 50 40 or 50
30°F to 90°F 40 40
0°F to 70°F 30 30, 40 or 20W-40
Below 10°F 20 30 or 20W-30

8.21 FUEL SYSTEM
(a) Servicing Fuel System
At every 50 hour inspection, the fuel screens in the strainer, in
the electric fuel pump, and at the carburetor inlet must be cleaned.
(b) Fuel Requirements (AVGAS ONLY)
The minimum aviation grade fuel for the PA-28-181 is 100.
Since the use of lower grades can cause serious engine damage in a
short period of time, the engine warranty is invalidated by the use of
lower octanes.
Whenever 100 or 100LL grade fuel is not available, commercial
grade 100/130 should be used. (See Fuel Grade Comparison Chart.)
Refer to the latest issue of Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1070
for additional information.
