PROCEDURES
Specific servicing
information
is provided
here for
items
requiring
daily
attention.
A
Servicing
Intervals
Check
List
is included
to
inform
the
pilot
when
to
have
other
items
checked
and
serviced.
DAILY
FUEL
TANK FILLERS:
Service
after
each
flight
with
80/87
minimum
grade fuel.
The capa-
city
of each
tank
is
21 gallons.
When optional
long range
tanks
are
installed,
the
capacity
of each
tank
is 26 gallons.
FUEL
STRAINER:
Before
the
first flight
of
the
day and after each
refueling,
pull
out
fuel
strainer
drain knob for about
four
seconds,
to
clear
fuel
strainer
of
possible
water and
sediment.
Release
drain knob,
then
check
that
strainer
drain
is closed
after draining.
If
water
is observed,
there
is a
possibility
that the
fuel
tank
sumps
contain
water.
Thus,
the
fuel
tank
sump
drain plugs and fuel selector
valve
drain
plug
should
be
removed
to
check
for
the
presence
of water.
OIL DIPSTICK:
Check
oil level
before
each
flight.
Do not operate
on
less
than
6 quarts.
To
minimize
loss
of
oil
through
breather,
fill
to
7 quart
level
for nor-
mal
flights
of less
than
3 hours.
For
extended
flight,
fill
to
8 quarts.
If optional oil
filter
is installed,
one additional quart
is required
when
the
filter
element
is changed.
OIL FILLER:
When
preflight
check
shows
low oil
level,
service
with aviation
grade
engine
oil; SAE
50 above
60°F,
SAE
10W30
or SAE
30 at
temperatures
from 0°
to
70°F,
and
SAE
10W30 or SAE 20 at
temperatures
below
10°F.
(Multi-viscosity
oil with a range
of SAE 10W30 is recommend-
ed for
improved
starting
and
lubrication
during
warm-up
in cold
weather.)
Detergent
or dispersant
oil,
conforming
to
Lycoming
Spec-
ification
No. 301E,
must
be
used.
Your Cessna Dealer
can supply
approved
brands
of oil.
NOTE
To
promote
faster
ring seating
and
improved
oil control,
your
Cessna was
delivered
from
the
factory with straight
mineral
oil (non-detergent).
This
"break-in"
oil should
be used
only
for
the
first 50
hours
of operation,
or until
oil
consumption
has
stabilized
at which
time
it must
be
replaced
with detergent
