Continental announces new Tempest oil filter part no's with a new gasket that they say is easier to remove in SIL 17-03. See attached SIL. SIL17-03.pdf -
I have been doing some follow-up on my conversations with B & C from when I was at Oshkosh. There is a B & C oil filter adapter that will work on the E, F and G models (and presumable the J models as well) with a 3" spacer under it. The B & C part number is BC700-1 and is STC approved for the Lycoming IO-360. The problem in the past is that there was only a 2.5" approved spacer which would not be long enough to allow the oil filter to clear the engine mount. There exists a 3" spacer, but it is not STC approved. It is made for the experimental market. This is only because when B & C sought out the STC approval, they never thought they would need anything longer than the 2.5" version. Apparently, there are a few E, F and G owners who have successfully gotten a field approval for the 3" spacer. I would like to know if anyone on Mooneyspace has the 3" spacer and oil filter adapter installed as I will bee seeking approval to put it on my plane. You can e-mail me here, or at john.breda@gmail.com, or call me at (617) 877-0025. Thanks, John Breda

I've been using the 48110-1 Champion or equivalent size Tempest oil filter in my plane since forever. I found a possible new source (at better prices) for my oil change supplies - and was asked to check on the correct filter. So I checked the Champion reference guide on Aircraft Spruce and lo and behold it says that the correct filter is the 48103-1 for the M20M TLS: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pdf/champion-oilsprk-app-2014.pdf Now it can't be the 48103-1 because that's a "female" filter... Then I checked the Sporty's reference guide for Champion Filters and it says the 48110-1 filter: http://www.sportys.com/media/pdf/oilfilter.pdf I think the Sporty's version is the older (and correct) PDF reference guide for filters... Anyone know someone at Champion to let them know they've got an error in their latest reference guide??
