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.

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 -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
