8.3 AIRPLANE INSPECTION PERIODS (continued)
A spectrographic analysis of the engine oil is available from several sources.
This inspection, if performed properly, provides a good check of the internal
condition of the engine. To be accurate, induction air filters must be cleaned or
changed regularly, and oil samples must be taken and sent in at regular intervals.
