(Regulations) Owner Oil Change stupid question.
Asked by: Thomas Vaillencourt 3491 views FAA Regulations
Its commonly "known" that aircraft owners are allowed to change their own oil. FAR 43.3 makes it clear that owners can perform "preventative maintenance", and just in case you aren't sure what is included under that umbrella, Appendix A contains a specific list of preventative maintenance tasks the owner may perform. An "oil change" seems to be absent from this list. there is a line which states that fuel and oil strainers and filters may be changed, but am I missing something, or is there not a SPECIFIC regulation that clearly states that ENGINE OIL itself may be changed by an aircraft owner?
