the existing drain bracket and five (5) tube assemblies, the existing oll level sensor, and cil level
marked plate, With this change, the oil sump capacity is increased from 3.9 liters to §.4 liters.
Incorporation of this service bulletin will bring the APU configuration to a functional equivalent of
‘APU part number 4500001A.
This service bulletin can be accomplished in a shop environment only.
