| Subject: | True Rotax brand oil filters |
Just yesterday I changed oil in my 912uls and installed a (Challenger Rotax 912/914)
oil filter. I got these from ACS. I look at my email this morning and find
a new service bulletin which says not to use what looks like a picture of the
very filter I installed. Now, I don't know if I should remove it and throw
it away and change to the true Rotax filter. This is the second Challenger filter
I've used. If the bulletin had been a day earlier I would have returned that
last one to ACS. Any and all opinions are welcome.

Hi Ron,
I don't know who makes the Challenger oil filters. If it is the one in the post
and it does have the same number I would toss it and forget it. That is an inferior
filter. I typed the number off the oil filter in the Rotax post into the
web search and it came up Challenger. The one that Rotax posted in there bulletin
is definitely an inferior filter. It has a few things wrong with it all
of which Rotax listed in the document. If you want to run a different oil filter
other than a Rotax then the Fram Tough Guard 3614 and the Purlator Pure One
PL10241 are better filters and maybe better than Rotax. The Pure One for sure.
It's a shame Rotax didn't cut these two filters apart to try and make a claim
because they wouldn't be able to make the inferior product claim. Toss the
Challenger filter it's only a few dollars compared to your engine health and you
will only lose a tiny bit of oil. Just top it off again and forget how to spell
Challenger. :D
