Spin On Oil Filter

Post by 8209 »

I have an oil change coming up and I am thinking about installing a spin filter adapter.
Any words of wisdom before I purchase and install?
Thanks,
Brent

Oil Filter Adapter. We've seen some great discussion on the site about the product.

Thanks for the info guys.
This appears to be the one that Aircraft Spruce sells and possibly Uinvar.
Thanks again

Thanks,

It's a great addition to your engine. Well worth the money. Oil changes become somewhat less invasive as well. (i.e. easier to perform)

Absolutely correct there John for pointing that out!

Made a quick call to the 800 number as indicated and learned that one can now purchase the F & M Type Adapter from one of the Tempest Company's distributors such as Aircraft Spruce.
