I understand you thought, but I look at it a little differently and I maybe wrong.It is always best to change oils before you put a piece of machinery in moth balls. That of course implies local service!
So if my engine had gallons of oil, rather than quarts, I might consider compromise!I understand you thought, but I look at it a little differently and I maybe wrong.
Oil changes on vehicles are xx amount of miles or one year. Piston aircraft engines are usually 50hrs or 6 months. The big reason is atmospheric contamination (partials, water) through vents etc and oil breakdown. if you have new oil in the engine it will be contaminated while in storage. I kind of do the opposite. I change oil at the start of the season.
There are a lot of contradictions. I remember when Mobil1 first came out and the recommended oil changes at 25000 miles if you used their oil filter. That fell away for a while, but now they guarantee 12000 miles. (Gassers). So what do you do?
Follow the manufacturer’s requirements and document when under warranty or they will reject a warranty request.
Oh, btw; on the F-16 the F100-PW-200 engine with 20,000 lbs of thrust had no recommended oil change. Just inspect and clean filters.
