7.9.7 OIL SYSTEMS

The engine has two separate oil systems.
Lubrication System (Engine and Turbo Charger)
The engine lubrication is a wet sump lubrication system. Oil is cooled by a separate cooler
on the underside of the engine.
A dip-stick is provided to check the oil quantity through an inspection door on the LH side
of the upper cowling. If required, oil can also be filled in there (for specified oil types refer
to 2.4 - POWER-PLANT LIMITATIONS).
Gearbox and Propeller Governor System
The second oil circuit lubricates the gear and serves the governor system and the
regulation of the propeller.
Gear oil quantity can be checked via an inspection glass which can be reached through
an inspection door on the LH side of the upper cowling.
If the gear oil quantity is too low, an unscheduled
maintenance is necessary (for specified oil types refer to
2.4 - POWER-PLANT LIMITATIONS).
