Kelly, Bill Blackwell has a filter sys he installs on the extreme right side of the firewall, about even with the start air solenoid, or just slightly above that level.  I have had it on my CJ for about 350 hrs, and it works very well.. I do not remember the brand, but if you contacted Bill he could tell you who manfactures it, it is an industrial unit that has a screw on oil filter... if you need I could take a picture of the unit installed on my CJ and send it to you.. would be a few days befroe I could do that for you...  Gary Gabbard

Kelley;

  

 I would recommend either ADC or Airwolf. My  personal preference is the ADC micro screen unit rather than the spin-on. ADC  provides both types, Airwolf is spin-on only.

  

 I would avoid cheap non STC'd systems which  invariably utilize spin-on filters that are not capable of safely handling high  scavange oil pressures.

 Like most other things in aviation you get what you  pay for.

Several others have pointed you to both Airwolf and ADC. Both seem to be

good systems.



There was an excellent article in Light Plane Maintenance sometime

within the last 5 years (no, I don't remember when) comparing various

oil filters including the ADC microscreen. The result of lab testing was

that the standard paper spin-on filter did the better job of removing

crud from the oil.



Still, they said that the ADC filter did a good job of removing

particles from the oil but not down to the same fineness as the paper

filter. They did like that the ADC microscreen could be washed and reused.



Craig Payne had a non-aviation filtration system he was touting that

seems to be better than either an Airwolf/Champion system or an ADC

system. You should ask Craig for the information. (He will probably post

after reading this.)
