1TJ Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Please join me as I present a webinar tonight:"Aircraft Engine Lubrication - What You Should Know to Make TBO" Tonight Thursday, 1-30-14 8pm EST It describes the idiosyncrasies of our aircraft engines. I will discuss aircraft oil formulations (auto vs. aviation oils), the straight weight vs. multi-weight debate, corrosion, the break-in process, engine operation, deposits and valve sticking, engine specific problems, oil additives, oil change intervals, and oil analysis. Here is the opportunity to get answers to your questions about fuels, lubricants, additives, engine operation and much more! It is not a Camguard talk, though there are a few plugs. It is hosted by "SocialFlight" and the website is https://join.me/socialflight Hope you can join me! Ed Quote

NotarPilot Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 I just now saw this. I would love to hear it once the webinar is made available for download onto my iPad. Quote
Awful_Charlie Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 I just now saw this. I would love to hear it once the webinar is made available for download onto my iPad. Â Likewise - I didn't fancy getting up for a 2am start! Quote
Steve Dawson Posted February 1, 2014 Report Posted February 1, 2014 Thank you Ed. Learnt quite a lot. Quote
Cruiser Posted February 1, 2014 Report Posted February 1, 2014 Ed, Â Nice webinar last week, I got a lot out of it. Â One thing that troubles me, if there is always water suspended in the oil, why does my oil analysis always come back with 0.0% water and <0.5% fuel in the sample? Quote
ncdmtb Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 I would also appreciate watching it. Can you post it on youtube and share the link? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
pinerunner Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 I'm sorry I missed your Webinar.  How different was it from Mike Busch's webinar that is archived at the Savy Aviator? Any major disagreements?  Dave Quote
1TJ Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Posted February 12, 2014 Ed, Â Nice webinar last week, I got a lot out of it. Â One thing that troubles me, if there is always water suspended in the oil, why does my oil analysis always come back with 0.0% water and <0.5% fuel in the sample? Â Most (Blackstone) do a crackle test (drop of oil on a hot surface- if it crackles then some water) to see if there is any water present. You have to use IR spectroscopy or Karl Fischer titration to quantitatively measure small amounts of water in oil like I was referring to in my talk. Â Ed Quote
MB65E Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 Hi Ed, any links yet? ! Love to watch it. Almost ready to add our cam guard in the Mooney!! 25+ hrs on my overhaul and counting... Probably run one more oil change on the mineral oil. Thanks, Matt. Quote

Probably run one more oil change on the mineral oil. Thanks, Matt. The slides from my presentation are on our website http://www.aslcamguard.com/files/Why-CamGuard.pdf . We will record it at some point.  I hope you have changed the oil once or twice in that 25 hours. I recommend changes at 5 and 15-20 after that. You can add Camguard after the second oil change.  ED Quote
MB65E Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 Absolutely, I've changed it about 3 times already. Thanks! Matt. Quote
