8.3 Checking and Servicing Oil
The REMOS GX is designed to be easily serviceable. Access to all
components which have to be lubricated or checked regularly is
possible without detaching any panels. A flap in the upper cowling
allows access to the oil bottle in order to check and add oil without
removing the cowling.
For checking the oil remove the oil tank cap. Prior to oil check turn
the propeller by hand in the direction of engine rotation several times
to pump oil from the engine into the oil tank. It is essential to build up
compression in the combustion chamber. Maintain the pressure for a
few seconds to allow the pressure flow around the piston rings into
the crankcase. The speed of rotation is not important for the
pressure transfer into the crankcase.
This process is finished when air is returning back to the oil tank an
can be noticed by a murmur from the open oil tank.
The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum marking
on the oil dipstick. Avoid oil levels exceeding the maximum mark as
excess oil will be poured through the venting line.
