The Main occasion where you have to wait a while is When you change the Oil in an upright Motor where you pour the Oil via the Rocker cover, and always recheck it to allow the Filter Qty to be catered for.. If the filter can be filled before fitting, all the better.. Nev

Rotax 912 oil filter. Reputable suppliers?

People who don't change oil are cheapskate Drongo's. Bad oil will ruin the Best of engines, making them unreliable in the Meantime. Modern oils are More specific in their applications than was previously the Case.. -

Only ONE that I can recall and He crashed 2 aeroplanes injuring a Passenger in each CASE. One plane Burned to a crisp. I had another with only One eye who had depth Perception issues. A few here and there that I Have advised they get another hobby. Not necessarily MY own students. Not everyone is good Pilot Material and shouldn't expect that Having Paid Money a Pass is Guaranteed. Often Long term Pilots will Fail a conversion onto a New type and Leave the Industry.. It's not an easy game to get a Job in and you spend Heaps of Coin to get the Qualifications. You can Medical out also. Nothing in all this should deter you from flying Airbus. High altitude UPSETS are More trained for. I've NEVER taken a plane through a Storm cell since Radar was fitted. Mid 60's. Nev

Some people try to purge the Oil from the entire system on a Rotax.. The risks involved don't justify this when you have a good filter in the system. 85 degrees is the advised oil temp. Lots of engine Parts will be above that temp. Oil dilution is unlikely in a Rotax. Rich Mixture will Produce amorphous Carbon (soot) Hydrogen is Preferentialy Burnt then SOME of the Carbon. WATER is a by product of burning hydrocarbons. Use the equation and apply the Atomic weights. Nev

I find the STYLE of the blogger sensationalist and judgmental. Not a document a court could use as evidence very conclusively, Negotiating the ITGZ is not just a "Normal " relaxed Operation. Some track adjustments at Least would be expected to avoid the Larger cells and Icing conditions That's what weather radar is for. Also hand flying at cruise level is extremely difficult even in calm air conditions. Above FL 310 flying with no Autopilot requires 2,000 ft Vertical separation as maintaining the Level within +/- 200feet is Near impossible for any length if time. I've personally had to do that, so I know. . At the height they got No Way could it be Kept in control.. I have to go now. Someone's arrived.. Nev

If you want to e fussy about the best time to drain the OIL, It's just after a long trip, but you don't feel like doing it then. Nev.

Please enlighten Me Onetrack. I'm always ready to Learn, They recommended some different type of Oil.. I have NO axe to grind. Nev -
It's always been a ONE WAY thing. I suggest different standards are the Main reason and RAAus operates on Exemptions. Even With A CPL people can't fly any RAAus Planes without being a current financial Member and holding a Pilot certificate with appropriate endorsements for the Aircraft type. Tail wheel etc.. Nev

In the 90s Hilux had 5000 KM oil changes. I've often seen them when the oil would nor drain out the usual Drain Hole. Nev
