Rick Junkin Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 All of my usual sources for Tempest AA48110-2 filters are out of stock. Spruce is backordered to 7 July. I found a site that MAY have them in stock but at an amazing $49 ea plus shipping. Anyone else having any luck? Cheers, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 I ordered a case of Tempest AA48109 oil filters last month from Spruce and they said there out of stock but would have them in on 4/25…still waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenL757 Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 The 48109 singles are available immediately. The 6-pack boxes are expected to ship 5/17. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the offer! I'm looking to restock myself (I only have one filter left) and hope to find a box of 6 available somewhere for a reasonable price. If that doesn't happen, I may be reaching out in a month or two! Cheers, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor_U Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Spencer aircraft at KPLU have them for $29.95. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) I called aircraft spruce east and they have currently orders for 650 with 1400 coming in sometime in June. The woman told me the outlook for champion filters is worse. First it was toilet paper, then baby formula and now oil filters......so sad.

McMooney Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 I really wonder what the issue is, champion is having issues even with auto filters. I picked up the last available mobile1 auto filter for my car last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Check where it’s parts are manufactured…. If they are from China… China has been in and out of full lock-down in various regions… Shipping out of China has been highly affected… shipping industry, ship maintenance, is experiencing difficult times… Covid is still a tricky virus…. The US and Europe are much further ahead with a solution for Covid…. Pfizer and Moderna… China has a different type of vaccine by Sinovac….

Jcmtl Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Anyone have a source for filters? seems like champion and tempest filters are unavailable everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M20F Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Thus far I have seen here Aeroshell 6 way back ordered, 5106 fluid, and now filters. I need 5106 which after searching everywhere Skygeek supposedly had. Does not appear to be the case. While not wanting to be the guy who recommends buying 400 cases of toilet paper, if you don’t buy it now some asshole in a Bonanza will. Stock up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcmtl Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I ended up finding these at a shop in fort lauderdale. $50 each which is double what it used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Junkin Posted June 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Closing the loop on my original post - The box of six AA48110-2 filters I ordered from Spruce on 5/8/22 shipped on 6/24/22, and at the original price of $159.14 for the 6-pack. I see Spruce now has the individual filters listed at $31.43 but the 6 pack still at $159.14, however no stock for the singles until 7/21/22 and no stock for the 6-packs until 6/30/22.

I didn’t really care about wiping my butt and feeding babies but this oil filter thing is intolerable! I wonder if we’ll be able to use synthetic oil when we switch to 100UL and be able to stretch out the oil change interval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
