Hello Everyone,



This may have been discussed before, and I'm just not remembering, but what

is everyone doing for oil filters; since they stopped manufacturing the

stubby Wix filters?



I just started flying my plane again after a really, really long break.  It

sure feels good.



Happy Flying,

Jim Weston

A Wix (or NAPA) 57035 will fit, it's also used on some Briggs and  

Stratton engines. It's the same size as the discontinued part number.  

I bought a dozen earlier this year from an eBay store listing. Item  

number: 270055221465. The picture in the eBay listing is wrong, but if  

you look at the item page the correct picture is shown in the full  

description. They list for $75/dozen but I offered him $60 and he  

accepted, he might take less. NAPA filters are made by Wix.



A Fram PH8170 also looks like it will fit. Item number: 400016559846  

on eBay. I haven't tried this one, I'e heard Fram filters aren't as  

good as Wix.

Hi Jim,

   That is a lawn tractor filter and a number of folks make them, including John Deere and Briggs and Stratton.  Hastings makes one that is reasonable priced, too.  If you can't find one let me know. I have a few of the Wix. 

  

 Hastings LF 503    or Briggs and Stratton 5049

Welcome back to the sky.  I bought a case of those filters when I heard 

they were being discontinued.  I don't mind selling one here and there 

but it sounds like there are replacements.

Hi Jim,

Go to your Lowe's building supply store or equivalent and find the 

Briggs & Stratton  ELS Series Part Number 5076

This is a premium filter and it is what I use. There's a black Briggs as 

well that looks the same and can be used also.

Hi Jim, or anyone else that is looking for the original Stratus supplied Wix 

oil filter.

I purchased a case before Wix discontinued this filter (#51065).  I have 

switched over to a remote oil filter which take a much larger filter. 

Anyway I still have 5 filters left that I will not be needing.  If anyone is 

interested in them drop me a email.

Kelly,

How is your remote oil filter working out?  Did you add an oil cooler 

too?  If not, did the remote filter reduce temps at all?  I wonder if 

moving the filter to some cool airflow would make a noticeable 

difference without the added weight and space of an oil cooler.

Hi Gary, good to hear from you again, hope all is well.



I like the remote filter mainly for the ease of changing the filter (no more 

knuckle busting).  I also added the J.C. Whitney cooling fins that goes 

around the filter.  Adding the remote filter with the much larger canister, 

plus the added lines allows me to hold an additional qt. of oil in my 

engine.



My filter is now located under the passengers feet, not totally in free 

moving air because it's only a few inches off the belly of the plane, but 

still better than between the oil pan and muffler!  I did not add an oil 

cooler.  My oil & water temps dropped about 5 deg each with remote filter & 

fins (with air at 72 deg & cruising at 4,000 rpm my water now runs about 

200, and oil around 210 at 58 psi).



Have a happy 09!



Kelly



PS. As I'm writing this my son is landing at his home in Midland TX. Guess 

he didn't want to spend the winter here in the cold & snowy northern IL 

(must be nice).

Kelly,



  Do you recall which remote oil filter kit you used?  I got one and it is

certainly not an exact fit.  If I recall correctly the diameter of the seal

is a little biggr than that on the original oil filter.  This makes the

actual seal barely catch the inside diameter of the rubber gasket.  I'm not

real comfortable and would like to find a better fitting unit.  I'm not at

the hangar and I can't seem to remember exactly what brand mine is.  Thanks.

Andy,



I purchased my remote oil filter kit from J.C. Whitney, the brand name was 

"Perma Cool".

It was sold as a "universal" remote kit.  It had 2 different fitting to mate 

the remote adapter to my engine block (one was a very good fit if I recall). 

They also supply 4 different threaded inserts to mate with the engine blocks 

threaded stud which the filter spins onto.  Again one was a good fit.

I've been running this setup since April of 06 with no problems or leaks.

I have notes that say it's a 3/4-16 thread but it would be worth 

checking with a dealer or parts place first.

Thanks Larry, and everyone else that responded.  I had noticed the Briggs &

Stratton filters, but I wasn't sure about the quality or the pressure

handling ability, since I don't have a pressure gauge on my riding mower. 



Since others are having good luck, I suppose that I'll just use the Briggs

filter the next time.



Thanks Again,

Jim Weston 601HDS

That may be close but everything else on the Subaru is Metric.
