Oil
Use a non-compounded
AVIATION
oil:-
Aero Shell 100
Mobil Red Band (EXXON Aviation Oil 100)
BP Aviation Oil 100
Use for 20-25 hours, then drain and replace with a compounded
AVIATION
oil:-
Aero Shell W100
Aero Shell 15W50 (for cooler climates)
Mobil Aero 100 (SAE 50) (EXXON Aero Elite 100)
BP Aero Oil D100/BP Multigrade Aero Oil D SAE 20 W 50
Aero Shell W 100 Plus
The normal running oils are detergent and ashless dispersant types. See
MAINTENANCE SECTION 5.3
Oil capacity:
The new engine will hold 2.3 litres with an oil cooler.
On subsequent oil changes the engine will hold approx 2.2 litres.
Do not use any type of automotive oil.
Aviation oils have been blended specifically
for the difficult operating conditions found in an air cooled aero engine operation and
using automotive will be
extremely detrimental
to its operation.
When you change oil from the “run in” type to the “normal” oil at or around 25 hrs
replace oil filter. You may want to cut the filter open for inspection. It is usual in Jabiru
engines to find a small amount of aluminium but definitely no metal. If bearing metal is
present contact the Jabiru Service Department.
13.2.3
Engine Cooling
Avoid prolonged ground running at elevated RPM. Engine can be over heated during
ground operations
– remember air ducts are designed for
in flight
cooling. Ground
running at high power settings for more than a few minutes requires the use of special,
oversize air ducts and oil cooler.
Do not apply full power until CHT has reached at least 100
°
C (212
°
F)
ALWAYS TAKE OFF AT FULL POWER
– especially when the engine is new.
For the first few take offs climb at a higher airspeed than normal to assist engine
cooling. Reduce power at cross wind leg and shallow climb (lower nose).
Avoid high nose altitude continual climbs. The higher the climb out speed the better for
engine cooling. No low speed high nose altitude climb outs.
RETORQUE heads on annual inspection.
