  • Where can I buy a Cessna Flyer engine?
  • Check the Cessna Yellow Pages online or call CFA for more information about Cessna Flyer supporters. You can also often find good engines on the buy-and-sell pages of various online forums, via the For Sale/Wanted thread on the CessnaFlyer.org forums, or through the advertisers in this magazine.
  • How much oil does a Cessna 182j take?
  • If you see a lot of oil on the belly of your airplane aft of the breather tube, you are probably over-oiling your engine. The sweet spot in the 1966 Cessna 182J Skylane with a Continental O-470-R I used to own was 9 quarts, even though the oil capacity was 12 quarts. The consumption rate for my current Lycoming O-360 is 1 quart every five hours.
  • What is a'sweet spot' in engine oil?
  • Many owners are unaware that each engine and airframe combination has an oil level “sweet spot,” where consumption slows. Above this level, much of the oil is discharged out the crankcase breather tube. The oil is not being consumed; it’s simply being pumped out the breather tube.
