Engine Operation
4-2.1. Oil Change Interval
NOTE: After the first 25 hours of operation, perform an oil change
according to the “Engine Oil Servicing” instructions in Section 6-4.8 of
M-0, Standard Practice Maintenance Manual.
The Oil Change Interval is specified in Table 6-2, “Engine Inspection and Maintenance
Schedule” of M-0, Standard Practice Maintenance Manual.
4-2.2. Engine Fuel Requirements
WARNING
The engine is certified for operation with the aviation fuel listed
for the engine model in Section 7-2.2 of M-0, Standard Practice
Maintenance Manual. If the minimum fuel grade is not
available, use the next higher grade. Never use a lower grade
fuel. The use of lower octane fuel may result in damage to, or
destruction of, an engine the first time high power is applied.
If the aircraft is inadvertently serviced with the incorrect grade of aviation fuel or jet fuel,
the fuel system must be completely drained and the fuel tanks serviced in accordance with
the aircraft manufacturer's recommendations. After the fuel system is decontaminated,
inspect the engine according to the “Contaminated Fuel System Inspection” instructions in
Section 6-5.6 of M-0, Standard Practice Maintenance Manual.
Under certain ambient conditions of temperature and humidity, sufficient quantities of
water may exist in the fuel to create restrictive ice formation in the fuel supply. To
alleviate this occurrence, it is permitted to add no more than three percent Isopropyl
Alcohol to the fuel supply. Also, Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (DiEGME)
conforming to military specification MIL-DTL-85470B, if approved by the aircraft
manufacturer, may be added for this purpose. Refer to Chapter 3 of the Standard Practice
Maintenance Manual (M-0).
