As some of you know, I'm in the market for an airplane. To this endeavor,
I
find myself reading through a lot of maintenance log books.

I've noticed that some people log oil changes but some do not.

I'm a little worried about the owners who don't because I don't know if
the
oil is ever changes or not. (Yes, I know that it just being in the log
book
doesn't mean it is actually done, but it does a lot to put my mind to
rest.)
All the owners I've talked to claim that they do oil changes in 25 or 50
hour intervals, but they don't log it.

Do you log oil changes?



When I was looking for an airplane. I had a guy give me an excuse why no oil
changes were logged during his ownership! He said it burnt 1 QT every 4 to 5
hours so in 25 hours it did not need one because he put about 5 QT's in it
during that 25 hours. I could not help but to start laughing turn around and
walk back to my car.
