How can you tell if the AMAD oil needs servicing?

The indication that the AMAD (Auxiliary Mounted Accessory Drive) oil needs servicing is when the sight gauge shows a silver color. This color change typically signifies that the oil has become contaminated or degraded to a point where it is no longer effective for its intended use. The sight gauge provides a quick visual assessment of the oil's condition, and a silver color in particular is a strong signal that action is needed.

The sight gauge is designed to give immediate feedback regarding the clarity and health of the oil. In this case, maintenance personnel should address the situation promptly by servicing the oil to ensure the proper functioning of the engine and its associated systems. Regular checks using the sight gauge are a fundamental part of maintenance routines to prevent engine failure and maintain operational efficiency.
