If an airplane spends several weeks in a shop for non-engine related work will the shop do something to circulate oil through the engine to prevent corrosion?
The reason I ask is that my airplane has spent the last two weeks in a paint shop. It's due to be finished next week. With the holidays starting it's easy to see the completion date pushed back a few days. And then if there are any problems ...
I have also read about owners whose aircraft have spent two months or more in the shop. Can this cause problems for the engine or do most shops have a procedure to prevent problems?
If my airplane is not ready next week I will ask the paint shop about it but I was wondering if it's something that shops already plan for.
