    What about the compression washer that came with the 912 oil change kit I bought from LEAF? I didn't see that mentioned anywhere.

      That’s because he has this drain valve on his. When you remove the drain plug on the bottom of the oil can, you logically replace the crush ring with a new one when re-assembling.

    My Rotax powered aircraft was spitting oil today. Upon inspection, the oil filter was noticeably loose. Wondering if it was improperly installed or vibrated loose over time. Mechanic said the Rotax motor is the only airplane motor he knows of where the oil filter doesn’t lock into place. Dipstick reading in the middle pre- and post-flight.

      That would be a value for the overload clutch break away not the friction torque resistance that we are testing for in the video. Both require locking the crank shaft as described in the video.

    1. Did you actually rotated the prop. 50Xs?? 6:39. You mention putting 2.5 lt of oil, then running the engine, burp, then adding the additional remaining oil, correct? How long did you run the engine for? Great video!!!!

    If there is at least one spark plug removed from each cylinder, there are no blow-by gases available to increase crankcase pressure and push oil back from the dry sump (the bottom of the crankcase) into the return line. Maybe that's why the return line is directed against the ground, so oil can follow gravity. However, while it is clearly in the interest of safety to remove the spark plug so the engine won't be able to suddenly start, I wonder if there is a real technical reason for removing the spark plugs. You say you turn the prop about 100 times before you see oil coming out of the return lines. Why is that? If the spark plugs were fitted, it would only take a few rotations of the propeller to increase the crankcase air pressure enough (by manually created blow-by gases during engine compression). I know you just follow guidance provided by Rotax, but still I wonder if having the spark plugs fitted would impede the oil purge in some way. Any ideas?
