Cirrus SR22T Oil and Filter Change DIY - save time and hundreds of $ dollars

Most Cirrus Pilots or Owners have their oil changes performed at a maintenance shop or service center. In many instances, that can be time consuming and very expensive for the owner. FAR Part 91 allows owners/pilots to perform some maintenance themselves, including oil and filter changes. By practicing this easy maintenance yourself, you become much more in tune with your engine, increase it's lifespan by reducing heat cycles, save hundreds if not thousands of $ per year and potentially save time! Overall, it makes you a better and safer owner and pilot of your aircraft.

In this video we perform an oil and filter change with safety wire on the filter, we collect an oil sample for Blackstone to review, we open up the old oil filter and check for ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants, and lastly we log the entire process. I am not an A&P or an IA. So do not take this video as instruction! It is simply me showing how I choose to perform these oil changes on a regular basis. Enjoy!

We fly for business and exploration. We use our airplane to visit our favorite places in (and out of) the country with our two dogs Baxter and Doll. We love aviation, our passion is to learn as much as possible and share the experience with others. I am an Instrument Rated Private Pilot with High Performance Endorsement.

We unexpectedly lost our first rescue dog and the love of our life, Pip at 14 years old to liver failure in mid 2024. You will see her in our first several videos. Our love of dogs and ability to transport them allowed us to form “Pip’s Rescue Wings” an animal rescue charity (pending 501c3 status). Together with rescues across the country, we transport man’s best friend out of kill shelters and other life threatening situations to a safe haven. 100% of the proceeds from Pip’s Rescue Wings goes towards the Rescues we are helping. All flight and operational costs are covered by us personally. Please consider adoption before purchasing a puppy and please spay/neuter your pet.
