I change the oil on mine with a suction device through the filler tube
straight into a container.
Its a bit of a long job as the tube diameter is small but nothing to unscrew
and no mess at all

It seems to me that you wouldn't be getting all the *possible* junk
that might be laying at the bottom of the pan that way...just a thought.

Hi,
it had ocurred to me but I suppose there could be `bits` which don`t flow
out through the drain hole either. Does anyone introduce anything (petrol?)
to help swill out the last drop of sludge?.

No Petrol but I run up the engine before draining the oil. This way it will
drain easier, quicker and hopefully stir up some of the stuff on the bottom
of the pan. The filter should get the rest?

Pat, I used to know a Porsche mechanic who recommended a double oil change
for this purpose. Change the oil, drive around the block a few times to get
the new oil warm and through the system, then drain and change again. His
justification was, "oil is cheaper than engines". Of course that was in the
days of 50 cent a quart oil. Still......:-)

I've even thought of running the right side of the plane up on a
block of wood....2x6 or something similar...to insure that the drain
plug would be on the low side, but never bothered.

| Subject: | Which radios work best with the 2200? |
When I attended the engine conference, it was mentioned that some radios just don't
work well with the jabiru. I can't remember exactly what caused the interference.
I am about a month away from needing to make a hard decision on which radio
to use in my Zenith 701 and for a lot of reasons I am really interested in the
MGL V10. I do remember someone saying that the Garmin radios seem to work well
with the Jabiru, but I hate to be boxed into only having once choice.
What is everybodies' experiance with radios and the Jabiru engine? Can anyone
vouch for certian brands or models? Also, does anyone know if there are corrective
measures that can be made to take care of the interference?
Any advise would be appreciated.
