NB Oleos - Oil

Post by Tim Juhl »

No bounce oleos take exactly 8.5 ounces (251 ml) of aircraft grade hydraulic oil. Make sure all the old oil is drained from the strut before adding fresh or you will overfill. It might find it informative to collect the old oil and measure how much was in each oleo. It would give you some idea as to how well they're holding fluid. Unlike the standard oleos - I've found it easier to jack the plane up and remove the NB oleos completely when I need to service them.
