bmcconnaha Posted October 5, 2021 Report Posted October 5, 2021 Hi all! My 390 in my just crossed 100 hours and it’s due for both an oil change and a cleaning of the Challenger air filter. I regularly change the oil and oil filter, but I want to make sure the air filter is approved as owner MX. FAR 43 says: (23) Cleaning or replacing fuel and oil strainers or filter elements. but it doesn’t specifically say air filter. what say you?
