 |
|
I recently completed my first oil change at 25 hours. Without the Ryco filters available from any local auto parts stores, I picked the equivalent Fram filter. At the same time, I was reviewing some past JabaChat newsletters and they warned that some equivalent oil filters were causing oil pressure fluctuation problems. The article did not mention any brand names. I sent an e-mail to Pete at Jabiru USA asking about this but never heard back.
Has anybody had any problems with other commonly available auto oil filter brands? I want to know if there are any brands to shy away from.
My post-change oil pressure with the Fram is stable, but did note that it is 6-7 PSI higher than it was before the oil change. This is going from Aeroshell 100 mineral grade to Aeroshell W100.
I had my oil filter debris analyzed by my lab at work. It was primarily small carbon deposits, some small aluminum pieces, carbon steel fuzz and just a few bits of very small brass-like material. Overall, it was probably just what is expected.
Flying is going very well so far and I am up to 30 hours on my 601XL/3300 combination. I also recently installed a flow divider in front of the carb inlet and got a marvelous climb-out power boost. I will present more data on this later after I complete a few more test flights on the cruise effects of this mod.
Let's go flying!
