HANDLING, SERVICE & MAINTENANCE MODEL 182T
RECOMMENDED VISCOSITY FOR TEMPERATURE RANGE
Multiviscosity or straight grade oil may be used throughout the
year for engine lubrication. Refer to the following table for
temperature verses viscosity ranges.
CAPACITY OF ENGINE SUMP
The engine has a total capacity of 10 quarts, with the oil filter
accounting for approximately one quart of that total. The engine oil
sump has a capacity of 9 quarts. The engine must not be operated
on less than 4 quarts (as measured by the dipstick). For extended
flights, the engine should be filled to capacity.
OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE
After the first 25 hours of operation, drain the engine oil sump
and replace the filter. Refill sump with straight mineral oil and use
until a total of 50 hours has accumulated or oil consumption has
stabilized; then change to ashless dispersant oil. Ashless dispersant
oil (and oil filter) should then be changed at time intervals set forth
by the engine manufacturer.
