Martin:
Ths is from Eric Tucker the guy from Kodiac research who gives the 3 day
Rotax class/seminar.
1. Drain engine / tank
2. Fill filter half full, don't put on.
3. Put 3 liters in tank
4 Turn prop till oil comes out of oil filter base boss.
5 Install filter
6 Verify oil pressure by proping or motoring engine without ignition before
putting back in service.
He also recommends that at 100 hr insp. the oil tank is taken apart and
cleaned.
