 |
|
Anybody know which Puro One filter is closer to the depth of the Rotax 825-701/3 for the 912/914. The PL 10241 is too deep for my installation. It hits the exhaust manifold on the kitfox 7.
thanks

Normally the airframe manufacturer (that's you) and the engine
manufacturer reach a mutually acceptable solution. Rotax says no
warrantee for aftermarket mods, so you might have to pose the question
to Rotax.

Not to bring up the oil filter thing again but....
One plus on the stock Rotax filter that I discovered recently that caused me to go back to them. The rubber gasket on it is a little wider than the Mobile 1 I was using, which seems to give a better seal.
The Mobile 1 I had trouble with leaking ever so slightly unless I really tightened it down. Rotax only wants you to crank the filter down 3/4 of a turn and I couldn't get a reliably totally non-leaking seal with the Mobile 1.
I havn't looked at the Purolator, but the Rotax filter seals reliably with 3/4 of a turn.
So I've actually gone back to using the Rotax. I buy em 2 at a time or so from Lockwood. They're a little more expensive at 15 bucks, but the reliable sealing is worth it to me.

New to this list and am trying to find out what oils people are using for
their Rotax. I have been using Pennzoil oil cooled for 6 years and 300 hrs
in my 503 . Now that it is only in 8oz bottles, is there an alternative ? I
have sent a question to Pennzoil at PrdMKTServices(at)Shell.com to ask to
have there decision to not package it in the 16oz bottles reversed. I you
could, send a message and tell all you know and maybe we can get it
changed. At this rate it literally doubles the price of the oil and only
half the quantity is available in a case at 24 -8oz bottles.

I agree that this was beat to death before but some very knowledgable people had some interesting things to say. I had previously bought 12 Challenger 9124's which are for sale cheap because they wouldn't take them back. I can look down the holes and see the bottom of the filter. No drainback protection among other things. The PL10241 was the aftermarket choice but it is too long to fit on my engine. If I can't find one I will have to buy more Rotax filters. They are $30+ at Aircraft Spruce and $21 at CPS. I wanted to make one more try before I ordered.

The question of oil. There is no way to answer this question ,you can
continue to use Pennzoil and pay the extra or simply go to another brand. I
have always used castrol super TT .No problems . I have flown over 400hrs on
castrol in a 503 and have had no problems with engine lubricaton. Our
engines are not operating under high stress and as long as the operating
temps are in the ball park then any oil that meets the manufacturers specs
should be OK. Fly with what you are happy with. If thats penz$oil then pay
the extra. I would not.I have seen stripped engines that have been run on
penzoil and others run on other brands. I have see little difference in
cylinder wear and stuck rings . My opinion is that set up is more important

Er, never mind what I said about the Rotax filter..... My new one was leaking this morning after a few flights around the patch.
I've gone back to the Mobile 1 M1-102, which I think is a little better filter and is available locally.
I looked at the Rotax filter after I pulled it off a little while ago and from what I could tell there was no visible deformation of the gasket or anything. But that freaked me out a bit that it was leaking after being installed and tightened to Rotax' 3/4 turn spec.......
I went one full turn on the Mobile 1 and after a runup it was dry.
Don't know if this was the filter's fault or not, but I'm going to stick with the Mobile 1 for a while.....

Thanks for the info folks. The Mobil and the Purolator which was acceptable in the previous postings under (912 oil-filters) was too long so I had to order Rotax 825-703. Today, Lockwood said they were out but when they get them, they will be $20+. I got some from Leading Edge Airfoils for $16.53. Still trying to find someone to buy my Challengers. Maybe for their lawnmower.
