Why are you barefooted in your hangar Paul. Do tell. Lol. Great info. Love this series.

Thanks, Paul. I’m looking forward to the next video of your new series, Firewall Forward.

Thanks a lot Paul

Thanks Paul. Like to know why you don`t pre oil the filter prior to install ? If i may say before adding oil in i slowy shake the can and also up side down the oil can for 15 mins in oder to get the additive out from the bottom.

Sponsored by that company I can't find oil filters from. haha Love the new video series Paul! Keep em coming! P.S. most Lycomings are okay with 2 qts as minimum but not all (such as the M1B)

What material is the safety wire? Brass, or stainless steel?

When my dad taught me to change the oil in my car he said it was better to warm up the oil by running the engine for a short time before draining it. Would you recommend that, or does it make a difference?

instead of a ziploc and towel, I use a diaper.

I advise against Paul's advice for adding a quick drain oil plug. This quick drain oil plug killed Martin. The oil quick drain on the engine oil sump was found to be leaking, even though it was in the closed position. Examination of the oil quick drain revealed that it was discolored and that the O-rings were melted, indicating that the oil quick drain had been exposed to a high heat condition. Further examination of the area around the oil quick drain revealed the presence of soot on the bottom of the oil sump downstream of the No. 2 cylinder where the engine’s left side exhaust pipe was separated from the exhaust collector. Additional examination of the exhaust system indicated that the left exhaust pipe was a slip fit design and that no exhaust pipe clamp was present. This evidence indicated that the source of the thermal distress event was most likely an exhaust system leak that impinged on the oil quick drain, melting the O rings and resulting in the oil draining from the engine and subsequently igniting. A review of the operating temperatures associated with the engine indicated that the exhaust gas temperature was hot enough to exceed the upper limit of the temperature specifications of the oil quick drain and was also hot enough to ignite the oil. This ultimately resulted in the in-flight fire and led to the pilot’s subsequent loss of airplane control. see NTSB report: data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/ ... 103266/pdf
