MIL-L-6082 Aviation Grade Straight Mineral Oil: Use to replenish
supply during the first 25 hours and at the first 25-hour oil change.
l.
Continue to use until a total of 50 hours has accumulated or oil
consumption has stabilized.
All temperatures, use SAE 20W-50 or
Above 16°C (60°F), use SAE 50
-1°C (30°F) to 32°C (90°F), use SAE 40
-18°C (O°F) to 21°C (70°F), use SAE 30
Below -12°C (lOOF), use SAE 20
MIL-L-22851 Ashless Dispersant Oil: This oil must be used after the
first 50 hours or oil consumption has stabilized.
All temperatures, use SAE 20W-50 or
Above 16°C (60°F), use SAE 40 or SAE 50
-1°C (30°F), to 32°C (90°F), use SAE 40
-18°C (O°F) to 21°C (70°F), use SAE 40 or SAE 30
Below -12°C (10°F), use SAE 30
CAPACITY OF ENGINE SUMP -- 8 Quarts.
Do not operate on less than 5 quarts. To minimize loss of oil through
breather, fill to 7 quart level for normal fligh ts of less than 3 hours. For
extended flight, fill to 8 quarts. These quantities refer to oil dipstick
level readings. During oil and oil fil ter changes, one additional quart is
required.
OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE - ­
After the first 25 hours of operation, drain engine oil sump and change
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 dispersant oil. Drain the engine oil sump and change the
filter each 50 hours thereafter. The oil change interval may be extended
to 100-hour intervals, providing the oil filter is changed at 50-hour
intervals. Change engine oil and oil filter at least every 6 months even
though less than the recommended hours have accumulated. Reduce
intervals for prolonged operation in dusty areas, cold climates, or
when short flights and long idle periods result in sludging conditions.
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, evi ­
dence of leakage, and security of attachment. Engine
