Engine lubrication
Engine oil is in a tank incorporated into the powerplant. It ensures lubrication and
engine cooling. A cooler located on left side in engine compartment maintains oil
temperature within limits. Oil flow into the cooler is metered by a thermostatic valve.
Engine oil also supplies propeller governor and engine torquemeter.
A chip detection system enables the monitoring of engine oil system. The system
includes one chip detector installed on propeller reduction gear box and a second chip
detector installed on engine accessory gear box. In case of chip detection,
CHIP
will
appear on integrated flight deck system screen.
Lubrication system content, cooler included, is 12.7 quarts (12 litres). A graduated
dipstick allows checking oil quantity in system. A visual oil sight glass, located on
engine left side, allows a rapid checking of oil level.
