Cessna 172 No Oilchange For 69 Hrs And Counting

[RageShade1]

Ive got an alienware alpha that i use to run FSX/P3D v4, I love experimenting with accu-sim and pushing its limits. Now the recommended oil change interval for the 172 is stated at every 25-40 hours. I decided to see how long you could go if you idled the 172 at 1,000rpm 24/7. So far its at 69 hours and the oil is just starting to darken a bit. I top the oil up once it its about 4.5-5 quarts left http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/ben_r ... t=3&page=1
