JRBarrett Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 On the real airplane the only way to determine the oil quantity exactly is to open the engine cowl and look at the sight gauge on the oil tank. That is not something a pilot would ever do, as opening the cowl requires a ladder and tools. There is no gauge in the cockpit instrument system that will show the total engine oil quantity. The oil servicing system in the aft compartment is the normal way to check oil. Obviously that can only be done on the ground before flight. The lights will either tell you that the engine reservoir is “full” or that it is not. If it is not full, the only thing you can do is add oil using the electric oil pump until the “full” light comes on, and note how much the quantity decreased in the oil servicing tank. The servicing tank holds about 6 quarts/liters of oil. On the CRJ-200, which has the same engine as the 650, we find that the engines typically need about 1 quart every 10 hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
