Hi Folks,

Time to change the oil again. In the past I have cleaned out and refilled the
main oil tank and changed the oil filter - having been told it wasn't worth
trying to empty the entire system. I half filled the new filter cartridge
before putting it on. In the past I have then use a small hand pump to pressurize
the main tank and then turned the prop a few times - I guess the instructions
call for this when first filling the system so I have always done this when I
change the oil. I have to wonder if it is worth the effort?

What does everyone else do when changing the oil? I have a regular 912UL.

Martin:

Ths is from Eric Tucker the guy from Kodiac research who gives the 3 day
Rotax class/seminar.

1. Drain engine / tank
2. Fill filter half full, don't put on.
3. Put 3 liters in tank
4 Turn prop till oil comes out of oil filter base boss.
5 Install filter
6 Verify oil pressure by proping or motoring engine without ignition before
putting back in service.

He also recommends that at 100 hr insp. the oil tank is taken apart and
cleaned.
