Oil change Mooney Ovation M20R

This is a “How I do it” not a “How to do it”.

Love ❤️ the Christmas music 🎶 in background We know what time of year it is when hes changing that oil ❤

If you pop a hole in the top of the filter itll drain into the engine and make less mess. A&P and J owner

Thanks. Will try that next time !

[@sagobhago]

Great idea

[@kenjohnson6137]

Nicely done. I must admit my Statesman doesn’t have that many screws underneath…

Love videos like this, instead of just flying here and there. The shoes blowing off the wing is the best part. Put red RTV on corner of filter where safety wire rubs it, filters pulsate from oil pump and wire will cut through canister. Get the STC for 100UL, engine and “oil change” will last twice as long.

Thank you for watching and for the great pointers!

Your M20R looks great! Where do you usually order the parts when needed? I'm in the Asia region, owning a Mooney built in 1995. It's challenging to get information here! 😢

Really enjoyed the video and like how you were able to do it by yourself even with the three blade prop.

[@flytavo]

Thank you!

Very satisfying to watch. I just bought my Ovation a few months ago and have yet to do my own oil change. Maybe soon though...

[@flytavo]

That is awesome! Congrats on your Ovation! Beautiful bird and machine!

[@divisionofaero]

Thanks for this. Perfect video and really showed the process.

[@FrankSzczerbaSr]

Great video. What did you pre-oil on the filter? Isn't the Tempest supposed to be installed clean and dry?

[@flytavo]

Some say don’t pre-oil others say to do it. I followed the advice of my trusted mechanic. One thing missing from the video is the 1” torque tool to tighten the filter. For that I followed the directions on the filter. Thanks for the comment.

[@FrankSzczerbaSr]

@@flytavo my understanding is that the Champion filter gets pre-oiled and the Tempest does not. +1 to using a torque wrench!

[@sagobhago]

Loved your video. Thanjs

[@Bob-cd5pp]
