Are any of you with 912 engines using Carquest or  Wix oil filters?  Would like to have the filter number for these brands if  anyone is sucessfully using them.

  

 Thanks

 Jimmie

Hi Jimmie and the rest, 

I've attended the four stroke engine seminar twice with Eric Tucker as the instructor. He really does a fine job in case you ever get the chance to attend. He addressed the topic of aftermarket filters and said that they have different pressure relief points than the Rotax filters. Even though they may fit the engine, you're more likely to pump unfiltered oil through your engine. I don't have my notes here at home from the seminar, but I'm pretty sure this is accurate. I had been running a car oil filter until attending that seminar and changed as soon as I returned home.

I attended his course with Eric about 2 years ago  and it was a really good course.  After attending his course I changed from  Carquest  to Rotax oil filters and had since forgotten the number for the  Carquest filter.  The difference I noted when I changed from the Carquest  to the Rotax filter is the number of compression strokes I must turn my engine  through before it will burp from the oil tank.  With the Carquest filter I  was able to get the engine to burp after about 30 compression strokes even after  the plane sat idle for several days.  With the Rotax oil filter it takes  about 135 compression strokes to burp the engine.  I don't know the why of  this but it would seem to save a lot of preflight work if everything else is  equal between the Rotax and Carquest filter.

  

 You could certainly be right about there being a  difference in pressure relief points and hopefully someone of the list has done  some research of this.  Definitely need to check into it.

  

 Thank you Rex.  Good thoughts.

Lockwood is saying the same thing.  The pressure relief points are different.  

   

Randy – Using Carquest until the next oil change.
