A few days ago, the weather was finally good enough for a flight to warm up the oil, after the flight I exchanged the oil while the engine was still warm. Hassle free and nothing special to report. At that time I had not yet received new oil filters so that had to wait.
Last night I got around to changing the oil filter. Temperature was just below freezing inside the hangar, the cold temperature is actually helping when exchanging the filter as the slow flowing oil makes it easier to change the filter without getting a lot of oil splilled out in the engine room. I also used the good tip of first loosening up the filter and then wrapping the filer with a plastic bag before completly removing it.
Now the engine awaits the next flight with a new filter and Phillips 66 X/C 20W-50 oil in the sump.
Today I received an extension cord making it a lot easier to use the engine heater before flight.
