Rotax says no warrantee for aftermarket mods, so you might have to pose the question to Rotax.

One plus on the stock Rotax filter that I discovered recently that caused me to go back to them. The rubber gasket on it is a little wider than the Mobile 1 I was using, which seems to give a better seal. The Mobile 1 I had trouble with leaking ever so slightly unless I really tightened it down. Rotax only wants you to crank the filter down 3/4 of a turn and I couldn't get a reliably totally non-leaking seal with the Mobile 1. I havn't looked at the Purolator, but the Rotax filter seals reliably with 3/4 of a turn. So I've actually gone back to using the Rotax. I buy em 2 at a time or so from Lockwood. They're a little more expensive at 15 bucks, but the reliable sealing is worth it to me.

I have been using Pennzoil oil cooled for 6 years and 300 hrs in my 503 . Now that it is only in 8oz bottles, is there an alternative ? I have sent a question to Pennzoil at PrdMKTServices@Shell.com to ask to have there decision to not package it in the 16oz bottles reversed. I you could, send a message and tell all you know and maybe we can get it changed. At this rate it literally doubles the price of the oil and only half the quantity is available in a case at 24 -8oz bottles. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich L" Sent: Friday, July 04, 2008 2:04 PM Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Purolator oil filter > > Anybody know which Puro One filter is closer to the depth of the Rotax > 825-701/3 for the 912/914.

I had previously bought 12 Challenger 9124's which are for sale cheap because they wouldn't take them back. I can look down the holes and see the bottom of the filter. No drainback protection among other things. The PL10241 was the aftermarket choice but it is too long to fit on my engine. If I can't find one I will have to buy more Rotax filters. They are $30+ at Aircraft Spruce and $21 at CPS. I wanted to make one more try before I ordered.
