Cut 'em open, Hank. It take two minutes with the proper tool, and can save
you a bundle. Thanks for the advise. Wilco Hank |

Lab work will detect microscopic particles, and may miss big chunks. The oil analysis for the engine that was in my plane (that was making metal in little slivers the size of fingernails) came back "normal". Cut 'em open, Hank. It take two minutes with the proper tool, and can save you a bundle. Plus, he said he was analyzing each 100 hrs. A lot can happen in 100 hrs, and oil changes should be considerably more frequent that that. I may be anal retentive, but I try to do it every 35. |

Longest ever, with filter change, was 41, after a long trip racked up 15 hours. After spending $18K rebuilding our engine, oil looks pretty cheap! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
