    Hi everyone, over the last few months i've noticed various oils recomended for blowers, well i serviced mine on sunday and now i'd like to know what oil i should put back in the old girl (it had ATF in the front and something like hydraulic oil in the back) , it's a 14-71 Mooneyham with helical gears , also how much oil to put in the front (rears got a level bung) ,
    Thanks for your help

    on your snout at the 8:00 allen head take it out and start filling till it runs out as for oil I use the same as what I run in the motor..Dave

    Dave's correct with the type and the way to check it,or you can use a light weight gear oil,if you have a 4inch snout 1/2 a quart is sufficent a 5 inch snout. I recomend 20 oz. Hope this helps.
