OIL
(Continued)
Make sure oil dipstick cap is securely latched
down. Operating the engine with less than the
recommended oil level and with the dipstick cap
unlatched will result in excessive oil loss and
eventual engine stoppage.
To obtain an accurate oil level reading, it is recommended
the oil level be checked either within 10 minutes after
engine shutdown while the oil is hot (MAX HOT marking) or
prior to the first flight of the day while the oil is cold (MAX
COLD marking). If more than 10 minutes has elapsed since
engine shutdown and engine oil is still warm, perform an
engine dry motoring run before checking oil level.
OIL DRAIN PERIOD
For engines operated in corporate or utility airplanes with a typical
utilization of 50 hours per month or less, it is recommended the oil be
changed every 400 hours or 12 months, whichever occurs first. For
engines operated in high utilization commuter airline type operation, a
basic oil drain period of 1200 hours or 12 months is recommended.
Regardless of the degree of utilization, if operating in a sandy or dusty
environment, the oil change interval must be at least every 6 months.
