Default injected planes, no more owner oil changes, contact AOPA

Huh? The way I read that AD, it has nothing to do with oil changes. The
repetitive inspection portion of it will be a PITA, which states :
At every engine oil change or within every 50 hours of engine run time,
whichever occurs

first, repeat the inspection and remedial steps specified in paragraphs (f)
through (h)(9) of this AD.

It in no way makes oil changes by the owner prohibited. If you have other
info, please post it.

AD 2008-06-51 prohibits injected (mostly Lycoming) aircraft owners
from changing their own oil (really makes the plane unairworthy after
an oil change until you get an A&P sign off).
Talking to AOPA about this I really don't get the impression that they
think this is very important. I would encourage everyone to send a
quick email to AOPA and let them know that the FAA needs to find
another way to do this AD other than restricting oil changes.

The AD says "At every oil change...". There for when you go out to
your plane to change the oil you can no longer fly it and must wait to
schedule an A&P to sign the AD. Draining the oil makes the plane
unairworthy.
