Robert Hicks Posted May 13, 2020 Report Posted May 13, 2020 So this is odd. During my overhaul I located a lycoming oil filter adapter to replace the oil screen on my O-360. Without checking, I ordered the standard Champion 48110-1 filters only to find that the oil filter adapter and the filter itself both have male threaded ends. Does anyone know if the little nipple in the adapter spins out? Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Someone has either been using the wrong filter on it or it’s really old and used to use the old AC Delco OF 51 filter. Clarence

It came off an O320 engine that was on a Citabria.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Aerodon Posted May 13, 2020 Report Posted May 13, 2020 You got the wrong filter, a CH48108-1 will fit right on there.

Robert Hicks Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Posted May 13, 2020 Champion lists all Mooney’s with 48110 except for the K-252 model it lists the 48108. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 48110 & 48111 filters fit Lycoming engines with separate magnetos, 48103 & 48104 filters fit Lycoming engines with the D3000 magnetos, 48108 & 48109 fit Continental engine. Use the filter approved for your engine. Clarence
markgrue Posted May 13, 2020 Report Posted May 13, 2020 You have the adapter for an o-320. You need an adapter for the o-360 or you will need to use the 48103 filters. I think if you pull the nipple out you will find the filter still will not fit. Not sure of that but I think it is different threads. Mark

That depends on which o-320 you have and which o-360 you have. The accessory cases are very different.... Mark
