Add in CamGuard after an oil change?

[CC268]

Getting the annual done on my Cherokee 140 now and the mechanic already changed the oil. I had already mentioned that I wanted to add CamGuard when he did the oil change, but I guess he didn't take that to heart.

So can I add it myself when I get the plane back from him?

What kind of oil and how much do you fly the plane?

Yeah I'd just fly/run it after, you're sposed to add cam guard between quarts so it mixes, just go run the plane after so it mixes well.

Also as was mentioned, if you're flying the plane multiple times a week it's not really needed.

Phillips XC and since it is summer probably once a week. Once it cools off it could be as much as 3 times a week.

IIRC, just make sure you add then fly for a while to get it mixed in there.

Its not going to hurt anything but I dont think you need it. You only need it if you dont fly much.

Yea I pretty much knew that I just figured I might as well. It could very well sit for a few weeks in mid summer when it is brutally hot here in AZ. Even then I guess it isn't a big deal.
