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 7-8 quarts (6.6-7.6 liters).
3.
Verify oil level and install dipstick and filler cap.
• Note •
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.
