I'm on the verge of doing my first solo engine oil / fuel filter / gearbox oil change. Have a few questions to make sure I have the right equipment, as shipping to Puerto Rico takes time....
- Will a 3/8" inner diameter tube be the right diameter if I have the quick drains installed on my AE300s?
- What sockets do I need for the engine oil filters / fuel filters / gearbox oil filters?
- What is the generic part number for the gearbox oil filter?
- Where do I purchase the engine oil filters / fuel filters / gearbox oil filters in the US?
- Where do I purchase the gearbox oil in the US? I did a search for "SHELL SPIRAX S6 GXME 75W-80 " and am coming up empty, short of a huge barrel in the UK.
Thanks!
Mike

Re: 300h fluid change questions
Also;
-The maintenance manual section on changing the engine oil filter says to use a new "sealing ring" around the drain plug and only new o-rings at the oil filter. Size/part number/source for sealing rings and o-rings?
Thanks,
Dan
