I thought exactly the same. It’s not something I’m going to worry about in the future. Still routinely change the oil at 50, but when I can’t seem to get to it, I’m not sweating over it from here on out.

Too much red tape and b/s to stay a pilot for them and complete real missions. A good idea though, just too much play military gets in the way of actually being useful.

I agree…. In this case though it’s just for comparison. Oil is cheap true, but I’m going to quit being so wasteful at least until the temps get into the 90’s then I’ll probably go back to 50 range just because. Filters have been tough to come by. Anywho, do as you wish :)

As promised, here are the latest numbers I’ve had a few oil changes since the November oil change in 2021. I actually forgot that I had ran that one a few extra hours longer as well, but I think it shows a good comparison. The engine produces a clean oil sump screen and the filter media also...

Why placard it… I see way too many of those stickers, plus unless you’re an A&P you can’t really inop something.

Thanks for the reply. I have a higher copper reading as well on my O-320, with with clean filters and screens it doesn’t seem to be an issues. It’s been elevated since it was new and has 1200 hours or so on it now. I miss typed earlier, my engine over TBO is the O-360.

Ahh the grammar police! Haha scary… I’ll make sure to come to come back in a month or so with a Blackstone report. Obviously lead should be increased, but it will be interesting to see the other numbers. The engine is well beyond TBO and has a replacement shipping this week. If lead is the...

I figure I’ll be my own guinea pig, but just curious if anyone else has extended their oil change interval on high usage engines. I’m running a 0-320 around 100 hours every 5 weeks, so roughly 20 hours a week. Sometimes I will catch oil changes at 45 hours, and others at 60 hours just...
