Oil Servicing

The oil capacity of the Teledyne Continental IO-360-ES engine is 8
quarts. It is recommended that the oil be changed every 50 hours and
sooner under unfavorable operating conditions. The following grades
are recommended for the specified temperatures at sea level (SL):
Ambient Air Temperature (SL)
All Temperatures
Below 40° F
Above 40° F
An oil filler cap and dipstick are located at the left rear of the engine
and are accessible through an access door on the top left side of the
engine cowling. The engine should not be operated with less than six
quarts of oil. Seven quarts (dipstick indication) is recommended for
extended flights.
To check and add oil:
1. Open access door on upper left-hand side of cowl. Pull dipstick
and verify oil level.
2. If oil level is below 6 quarts (5.7 liters), remove filler cap and add
oil through filler as required to reach 6-8 quarts (5.7-7.6 liters).
3. Verify oil level and install dipstick and filler cap.
Installation of dipstick can be difficult. To aid in inserting
dipstick, point the loop of the dipstick towards the closest
spark plug (left rear, #2 cylinder), and use both hands to
guide, route, and insert dipstick.
4. Close and secure access panel.
