I consider this a cheap inv estment to protect a $20k engine. I also always change the filter, prim arily to do a check of the element for metal. I also get an oil analysi s. I also use Camguard. Pulling the cowl each four months also affords the opportunity to inspec t the entire engine compartment. I almost always find something that ne eds tightening or securing. I may be weird, but I enjoy working not the bird almost as much as flyin g. Just my 2 cents.

It is in the standard operating limitations..which not everyone has, but in general you must use a checklist for your condition inspection that at a minimum includes everything in Part 43, Appendix D. The inspection is the same as type certified aircraft. Only the wording and who can do it are different.

IF the owner operator recently did an oil change and the Repairman / A&P was not around to witness=2C the oil could be returned to the engine after the pickup screen is inspected. The pickup screen inspection would remove all the oil out of the engine. The cost for the labor to do the task in this manor could approach the price of new oil.

I guess you can do this without changing the oil or you can drain the oil and reuse it. I=99d offer that the pain and mess to do either is not worth it. I also read this as needing to cut open the oil filter to look for metal particles. Other may disagree. So =93 while not optimal ground run the engine to get the oil temp up and just change the oil and filter.
