A maintenance issue on a ten week old plane?

• stouset 3y ago
  That plane was literally at their OKC facility for maintenance on Dec 31, so… yes? Planes are not cars. They don’t go in once a year to change the oil filter and tighten a few bolts.

    Doubtful. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/n704al#3374196f https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/n704al#3374196f

    How often are those plugs maintained? As far as I know it is around zero times in the lifetime of the plane and maybe a quick look at 5k hours?

    You should probably get your oil changed more frequently than once a year…but yes, aircraft do need a lot of maintenance.

      What modern car calls for oil changes more than once a year, assuming you’re not exceeding the mileage?

        My 2016 Toyota Sienna for one.
        • mikem69 3y ago
          If you use synthetic oil, the interval is 10,000 miles or 1 year, even for your Sienna.

            It was 7k kilometers according to my local dealer. Thanks for the info (I use synthetic oil too)
