In addition to the preflight inspection (refer to Section 4, "Normal Procedures"), servicing, inspection and test

Maintenance Manual outlines all items which require servicing, inspection, testing or overhaul.

ENGINE OIL

Type of oil :
Nominal
viscosity
Type 5cSt
Oil capacity :
System total capacity :
12.7 Quarts (12 Litres) (oil cooler included)
Usable capacity :
6 Quarts (5.7 Litres)
The engine oil should be changed and the oil filter cleaned at intervals recommended in Pratt & Whitney Canada
Service Bulletin No. 14001 which has been updated with revisions and / or Supplements.
Refill through the system filling inlet which is located on the engine upper rear part. A gage located on the filling cap
indicates oil level and is calibrated in quarts to maximum level under cold conditions "MAX COLD" and to maximum
level under hot conditions "MAX HOT". Normal oil level is approximately one quart below maximum level.
To avoid over servicing of oil tank and high oil consumption, check oil level within 10 minutes after engine
shutdown.
If more than 10 minutes but less than 30 minutes have passed and the dipstick indicates that oil is needed, carry
out a normal dry motoring cycle and reverify level before adding oil.
If more than 30 minutes have passed and the dipstick indicates that oil is needed, start the engine and run at
ground idle (low idle) for 5 minutes. Reverify oil level before adding oil.
