    Funnel?

    Roll your own using a sheet of paper. I have also carefully poured the oil down the dipstick until I could pour the rest of the oil straight out of the bottle

    G430w no VOR indication, but GPS and LOG/GS work

    Yeah I know the OBS heading isn't set correctly. When I took the pick I had been messing with the OBS for a while already. Even then it shouldn't be centered.

    G430w no VOR indication, but GPS and LOG/GS work

    So our 430 has developed an interesting failure. The CDI works in self test, GPS, and Localizer mode just fine. When I dial in a VOR frequency though it does not indicate any info on the CDI. The VOR/LOC audio is received fine when I listen to the NAV portion of the 430. LOC Reception VOR...
