Change Oil before Winter storage

by Damien Graham in General Tech Discussion 9 years ago

I will be putting my 912ULS Zodiac 601 HDS away for the season soon. The engine is new so I will be doing the 25 hour oil and filter change tomorrow. I hope to fly a bit more before I am finished for the season. How many flying hours would require me to change the oil again before winter storage? Thanks.

Hi Damien,

What fuel are you using, what oil and will you be able to run the engine once a month for a short time?

I use 91 Oct ethanol Free Mogas and Aeroshell Plus 4 oil. I would not be able to run the engine once a month during the winter. I have decided to change the oil again before I shut down for the winter, that would probably be best. Thanks.

Hi Damien,
Under those circumstances that would probably be best. Read in the manual about long term storage. It has some good advise.
