Paul - it's another learning curve for me for sure. I try to make things as simple as possible. I hope this helps. Thanks for all of the support. -Sean
Kevin, thanks for the comment. I want to do more videos like this, but this video has the lowest views of anything! Either way - I hope folks enjoy it. I am always looking for new suggestions for videos so if you have anything let's hear them! - Sean
Just my 2 cents, it's a good idea to replace the crush gasket under the plug every time. That will eliminate the drip. I would also recommend an oil sample. That's cheap insurance to have peace of mind you don't have metal floating around the in the oil. Nice 310 !!
Joe - Thanks for the comment. We weren't 100% prepared on this one. The oil sample cups had not arrived yet. Plus my safety wire was in a different location. Had to go back and finish those the next day. Thanks again for the comment and all the support you guys have shown. -Sean
Just wanted to say that this video was informative.... I want to change my oil now. Only one little thing you did not cover and it is my biggest fear is how do you put back on the tie for the oil filter? If you get that wrong I would bet it can make a whole lot of other stuff wrong. In any case still a great video like all of your great videos.... They are entertaining and I own and operate a Cessna 310R myself. Great Airplane. So I really like these video's.
David - changing your oil is definitely something I would suggest doing if you have the time. I didn't show the safety re-wire. I had none at the hangar and I had to get it afterwards and come back. So in the interest of finishing the video, I left that implied. It's really not hard with the right pliers. I will do a follow up to show that soon. Thanks for the comment and the support. I love hearing from you guys. -Sean
Great information,. I like to change oil early on everything my self. What type and size fire extinguisher do you keep in your plane and do you recommend a smoke hood as well. We never want to use them but better to have and not need... sometimes I overthink the what if’s. I like your channel btw. I’m a boat captain for Marathon Petroleum Co. With some of our advanced training I found a whole new respect for firefighters! You guys have a tough job, I salute you 👍🇺🇸
Ray - thanks for stopping in and taking a look! I don't pack a smoke hood on the plane with me. Maybe that's irresponsible of me but I think it's a calculated risk. The extinguisher that is on the plane I think is a 5 pound small one that mounts between the front and second row of seats. The guys who fight boat fires have a reallllly unique job unlike any other. In a house fire, we have ways out (windows, floors, walls, etc) on a boat fire - there's no way to break through the steal. I have no experience with that type of operation but it seems interesting. Thanks for the watch. I appreciate your support! -Sean
Don - I wasn't prepared here. I had my safety wire in a different location so I had to leave that as "implied" in this video. In reality - I had to go back the next day and finish the filter and the plug with safety wire. I did mention in the video that safety wire was important and that we had already wired them back up so. Perhaps we will do a video to show that part of the process specifically. Thanks for the comment. -Sean
Thanks Bill - we did mention that we wired both back up, but see my comment on Don's comment. We left it implied in the video but should have specifically shown it. -Sean
Umm..You didn't show safety wire of the filter..No new Crush washer on drain plug.. Drain plug NOT torqued to specs....Some REALLY bad examples of how to do it ...
Welcome back to DTS. DTS tower crew
You guys are awesome. Really. I did get the message / invite from FBO. Is there a way I can get in contact with the tower?
Nice! I’m actually getting ready to upload a cleaning the oil screen video tomorrow. So this caught my eye for sure. Well done!
Awesome! I'll check it out Josh. Thanks -Sean
Great video! Keep these how to videos coming! Had my plane a year but still consider myself a new owner and not particularly handy so this is perfect.
What kinda of plane did you purchase?
@@Blaircraft.Engines Arrow
@@paulr4074 nice aircraft 180 or 200 hp?
@@Blaircraft.Engines 180! It's a dog in the summer but I love it

Good video. Just a small tip though, Flip that jug over and it'll pour a little better for you.
Stupid rookie mistakes.... Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that next time.
Great video. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful John. If you have other things you would like to see - let me know. Thanks again. -Sean
Nice educational video plus we got a peek inside the cowling, that's a win win! Thanks for sharing this with us and putting it all together.

Very interesting! 😍👏👏
Excellent sound and video ❣️❣️❣️Happy flights, greetings 👍👍

for extra excitement, try to not lose the drain plug when 200 degree oil is lurking behind it.

Well done! I love the informative nature of this.. I’ve messaged you on Instagram before.. keep up the great content!
Thanks Josh. I will do another oil change video in the future when I have some extra hands for the camera. Thanks for all of your support. -Sean

Why no safety wire on the drain plug?
Or oil filter apparently...

Good vid, but you didnt cut the filter and inspect for metal?... the biggest indicator of things to come
Marty - Yes always do that. I ran out of time to record that night and just had to finish it up. Thanks for the comment my friend!
Safety wire process?
I think I am going to do another video showing that process I didn't put it in this one.
Umm..You didn't show safety wire of the filter..No new Crush washer on drain plug.. Drain plug NOT torqued to specs....Some REALLY bad examples of how to do it ...
youre blocking the airplane
Huh?
@@TheFirePilot you are blocking my view of the aircraft ; )
@@donny526 lol oh sorry there I’ll just step out of the view.
