Figure 1: Engine Compartment

Figure 2: Maintenance Panel

The engines are located on either side of the aft pylon. The engine on left side when looking forward is the #1 engine, and the engine on the right side is the #2 engine. Each engine has a cowling that can be opened for access to the internals. Click on the engine to check for damage, or repair any existing damage.

Each engine has 12 quart oil reservoir. Engines should not be operated with less than 6 quarts. The oil level is detected by a float mechanism. This float mechanism triggers the low oil warning lights in the cockpit, and an orange indicating line near the forward section of the engine. Click on the red cap to add two quarts of oil to an engine.
