I've using Baldwin 33 which is a good oil filter and rates more highly than the
Fram in testing my Light Plane Maintenance.

1. 10:10 AM - 3300 First Oil Change (oil filter question) (DaveG601XL)

Subject: JabiruEngine-List: 3300 First Oil Change (oil filter question)
From: "DaveG601XL" <david.m.gallagher@ge.com>
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!

Same here....Baldwin B33, as suggested by Andy Sylvester about a year
ago.

The way I understand it, the jumper retard wire is there to provide
30 retard for that controller, because the sensor associated with
that controller is mechanically advanced 30.
Too late for retaining the one Jabiru mag, as I've removed the
associated gears and shafts, and covered the holes. Not too late
**forever**, it would just involve removing the rear gear case cover
and reinstalling one gear and shaft, cap and rotor, but then I'd have
to eat crow, and that stuff doesn't taste too good...I've done that
before. : ) But certainly I'd do that before I'd be stubborn enough
to insist on NOT doing it.
