Re: [ercoupe-tech] RE: pilot maintenance

Hi All
 
Hate to start another discussion but!
 
In Appendix A. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AUTHORIZED TO BE  PERFORMED BY PILOTS
         (in  accordance with FAR 43, Appendix A(c))
 
 
No where does it say that you can change your own  oil.
 
It says: " Clean or replace fuel and oil  strainers or filter elements."
 
You can replenish Hydraulic fluid in the reservoir but not the  oil.
 
When I bring this up to the local FSDO guys they change the  subject as they 
know
that everyone does it  so they look the other  way.
