Randy – every 25 hours, cut the filter and don’t forget to check the finger screen.

I'm usually trying to do it a bit before 50 hours, usually 35-45 hours
into a change. Depends on the situation. If I am flying a long trip,
I try to get it done before the trip. Depending on who you talk to,
you'll hear 25 to 50, with the 50 being only if you have a spin-on
filter...which we pretty much all do. It will only be better to change
it more often, but depending on your oil choice, it can cost a lot
to stick to a strict 25. I do also do oil analysis at every change
to get a trend going for monitoring.
Clean oil is your friend though, so you're doing great if you keep
up on the 25.

I wanted to ask the exact same question Randy so thanks. Right now I have been changing my oil every 25 hours but like I mentioned before, I am going to change to the ExxonElite semi-synthetic and would like to go from 25 - no more than 50 hours like Tim mentioned. Right now I am changing my oil every 25 days roughly and the guys around the airport say that I could definitely go to 50 hours with no problems even with straight 100 oil. So if I can go 35-50 hours (again depending if a bigger trip is coming up) and use semi-synthetic that would be great for the work load.

For what it is worth, I was told by my cylinder manufacturer buying cheap oil and changing more often is the best choice. Of course, all bets are off, I think, if you fly your plane very often. There is a guy in our area with 3000 hrs on his engine and still ticking away. He has accumulated the hours in a very short time and changes oil every 25 hrs and oil/filter every other 25 hrs.

His is probably an outlier, if the average engine overhaul time is just that, an average. But there is no doubt whatsoever that changing the oil frequently leads to longer engine life, and is perhaps the cheapest of the preventative medicine options available. Clearly other factors are involved, most of which are related either to heat or vibration (balancing). I'll be using normal oil and frequent changes.

Rotax Cert. Training did a financial comparison between 25 & 50 hours with rebuilds on scores of engines. Oil which keeps contaminates “in suspension” is the issue. Leaded fuel which finds its way into the oil is fascinating. Moisture from lack of use (the acids they create) and hangar storage can be near fatal. Fly often …. Fly Safe.
Always change the filter, always inspect the screening material, always carry an adequate supply of oil for cooling. Changing the oil allows a set of eyes to check for exhaust cracks, loose wires, oil leaks, chafing or broken baffle material.
I heartily second Rhonda’s and the team from Barrett’s recommendation. You can pay sooner or pay much more later. The piece of mind…. Priceless.

I also change my oil and filter every 25 hours. In addition I take an oil test sample and send it off to try and catch any abnormal wear issues.
Coming up on fourth oil change.

Then engine in N256H had 4300 hours SMA on it when we got it as a core. The 540 is a really solid engine, especially when only making 260hp.
