HANDLING, SERVICE
& MAINTENANCE
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.
Continue to use until a total of 50 hours has accumulated or oil
consumption has stabilized.
SAE 50 above 16°C (60°F).
SAE 40 between -1°C (30°F) and 32°C (gO°F).
SAE 30 between -18°C (0°F) and 21°C (70°F).
SAE 20 below -12°C (10°F).
MIL-L-22851 Ashless Dispersant Oil: This oil must be used after the
first 50 hours or oil consumption has stabilized.
SAE 40 or SAE 50 above 16°C (60°F).
SAE 40 between -1°C (30°F) and 32°C (gO°F).
SAE 30 or SAE 40 between -18°C (O°F) and 21°C (70°F).
SAE 30 below -12°C (10°F).
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 flights of less than 3 hours. For
extended flight, fill to 8 quarts. These quantities refer to oil dipstick
level readings. During oil and oil filter changes, one additional quart is
required when the filter is changed.
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 iOO-hour intervals, providing the oil filter is changed
at
50-hour
intervals. Change engine oil 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
controls and linkages should be checked for freedom of
movement through their full range. security of attachment
and evidence of wear. Inspect wiring for security, chafing,
burning, defective insulation, loose or broken terminals,
