->Gary and others, I would think by "burping" the engine after

->any. Even if this wasn't done, on startup the oil is moving
->so fast through the lines, that any air would not stay in one
->spot long enough to do damage. This is all common sense. Now
->if I had a brand new SLSA 912 or any new 912, yes, I would
->have an approved mechanic do the oil change. For an
->experimental aircraft, I can do the oil change, but I have to
->be careful how I do it and know that it is not harming the
->engine. I have not seen a problem with my engine in the 3
->years I have owned it. In fact, I am the guy that flew it in
->those videos in the dead of winter here in Minnesota to a
->recent fly-in. To top that, there are people who have told me
->using ethanol gasoline in my 912 is a bit dangerous and
->harmful to the engine. I say, "baloney" to that kind of talk.
->If it were a problem, I would of seen it by now. Let's be
->careful of what is really required and what is not. A lot of
->this is a matter of being informed and using common sense.

Ralph and group,
There is so many different installs on so many models it is hard to define
any set procedure. If you have a maintenance manual from the dealer you need
to be sure it is followed. It will have the best info for your particular
situation, hopefully. Also differs for S and E LSA's, the ops limits that
apply, who is doing the work, and the training they have had, if any. That
is why it is being discussed because it keeps changing as time goes on and
seems to apply differently to a large array of folks, especially LSA folks.
GA vs. UL vs. old timers vs. medical problems. These things normally are
taken for granted, from GA world, but must be looked into for each craft you
are looking at to purchase, which is part of what this group helps discuss.
There is some junk out there but a whole lot more that are really worthy of
strong consideration over GA craft of today.
Normally the aircraft industry has been stable for years and years, 70 at
least. Sport flight changed all that and is why we are discussing these
things as they happen. A fellow owner of my type LSA has posted a lot of
great videos showing it can be done and be a lot of fun almost all the time.
Not selling anything here but these are great little planes for many
purposes. Some will only prefer the standards they have depended on to keep
them happy, other would like to explore the new opportunities to the
fullest. Main thing here is no commercial, have to fly junk out there, just
fun to enjoy and fly. Here is a video of my friend Seth flying the 26 miles
over water from a little place called Los Angeles and there airspaces to the
Catalina island off the coast of California:

Now that is fun....
