When making oil line connections:
A.
Align the oil line with the fitting for best orientation (without kinks or sharp bends).
B.
Torque the fitting to the torque value in the latest revision of the
Service Table of Limits -
SSP-1776
.
Step 10. Install Components That Had Been Removed Before Engine Installation
Install any component that was removed to enable the engine to be installed.
Step 11. Add Oil
Oil Additives
Anti-scuffing agent oil additive (P/N LW-16702) to decrease engine wear can be added to the oil
sump during an oil change except for installations that use a friction-type clutch and common
engine oil system for the transmission and clutch assembly. Prior to adding to the oil, contact the
aircraft manufacturer for approval. Refer to the latest revision of Service Instruction No. SI-1409
for quantity and instructions to add the oil additive.
OIL IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITY AND OF THE CORRECT VISCOSITY
FOR THE CORRESPONDING AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (APPENDIX
A) MUST BE ADDED TO THE ENGINE FOR CORRECT LUBRICATION
ESSENTIAL TO ENGINE OPERATION.
NOTICE:
On new, rebuilt, or overhauled engines, during the first 50 hours of engine
operation, it is recommended that this engine be operated with mineral oil until oil
consumption has stabilized. Afterwards, complete an oil change, drain the mineral
oil and add new oil identified in Appendix A.
OIL MUST BE FLOWING TO ALL ENGINE PARTS THAT REQUIRE
LUBRICATION AT ALL TIMES AND IN ALL ATTITUDES FOR
CORRECT ENGINE OPERATION.
1.
Pull out the oil level gage assembly
(dipstick) (Figure 1) from the oil
level gage tube.
2.
Add either new clean mineral oil (if
within the first 50 hours of operation
of a new, rebuilt or overhauled
engine or an engine that had a
cylinder and/or piston rings replaced)
or specified oil of the correct quantity
and viscosity for the ambient
temperature (identified in Appendix
A) to the oil sump through the oil
level gage tube.

3.
Measure the oil level per the “Oil Level Check” procedure in Chapter 12-10 of the
IO-360-
N1A Engine Service Manual
. Add more oil if necessary until the oil level in the engine is
sufficient for the flight conditions.
4.
Install the oil level gage assembly (dipstick) into the oil level gage tube securely.
