The line to and from the cooler is a pressurized line and thus would be better, but your engine likely has a vernatherm valve that when functioning properly will keep the oil in your engine from going to the cooler until it reaches a certain temperature (I think around 170 degrees F). Also, you need to have a pressure relive valve that will bypass the filter if it is blocked for any reason. I initially had an oil sceen only on my engine and the first few oil changes were a major pain in the arse, so I bought the casper labs 90 degree oil filter adapter from Spuce. This mounts in place of the oil screen housing and aims the filter up and out (about 10:30 looking at the back of the engine). I haven't changed the oil yet with it installed, but in theory, I should be able to drain the hot oil out of the engine and poke a hole in the filter so that is drains back down into the engine. Then come back later and unscrew the empty filter with no mess. If you want an opinion from someone who actually knows what they are talking about, I would contact the folks at BPA (Barrett Performance Engines; www.bpaengines.com) for a definative answer. -Ross >From: >Reply-To: rv-list@matronics.com >To: >Subject: RE: RV-List: oil filter >Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2005 06:11:02 -0700 > >--> RV-List message posted by: > >Hello Ross; > >Thank you for your reply.

I will check with the folks you suggested. The guy who bought the Acrosport is supposed to come this weekend to pick it up. He wanted to switch oil sumps so he could have the one with the necessary welded fitting. I am reluctant to do that as I may some day decide to build my own inverted system. There really isn't much to it since I already have the engine modification and the fittings. The Acrosport has been a mess from day one, thus my decision to build an RV8 with the assistance of a friend. The main thing I am looking for is to build an airplane that is low and easy maintenance. I had hoped to be able to change the oil without removing the cowling and without getting anything too dirty. Thanks again for your help. You can reach me off list at flynlow@usaviator.net.

It used to be a messy job until I made a tool that another RV-List'er recommended. You take an ordinary C clamp that has an opening that's wide enough to fit around your oil filter. Get a piece of rubber tubing that's long enough to reach from your C clamp to your oil bucket. Get a steel roll pin that's just about big enough to fit in your rubber tubing but not so big that it's wider than your C clamp! Now you grind one end of that roll pin to make a point, you're trying to make a can opener here so make it sharp. Next drill a hole in the flat side of the stationary jaw of your C clamp that's just big enough that the roll pin will fit if you drive it with a hammer. Drive the roll pin in with the pointy end toward the jackscrew on the opposite jaw of the C clamp. Put your rubber tubing on the tail of the roll pin and secure it with a hose clamp. Now, clamp that baby around your oil filter with the tubing and pointy roll pin at the bottom of the oil filter, put your bucket under your hose, and start turning the screw on the C clamp. The pointy roll pin will puncture the oil filter and drain the oil into your bucket. You may still get a drip or two but it won't be the big mess you would have had. I also used a little RTV around the roll pin as a seal to keep oil from seeping out past the roll pin while it is draining through the tubing. Geez that was wordy. I hope it makes sense. flynlow@usaviator.net wrote: >--> RV-List message posted by: > >Hello Ross; > >Thank you for your reply. I had a suspicion that the suction side was not a >good idea.

Where are you by the way? > >Bud Silvers >Colorado Springs, CO > >snipped> FWIW, the times I've caught problems before they became incidents on my plane were during oil changes. It's a pain in the rear to pull the cowl, but that's when you can see all those problems. Remember, most of the stuff under the cowl is 'aircraft quality' & should be treated that way, not like the auto or experimental stuff that doesn't seem to break.

Thanks Bud Silvers -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Scott VanArtsdalen Subject: Re: RV-List: oil filter --> RV-List message posted by: Scott VanArtsdalen Hey there Bud, I have an RV-4 which is really tight for changing the oil filter. It used to be a messy job until I made a tool that another RV-List'er recommended. You take an ordinary C clamp that has an opening that's wide enough to fit around your oil filter. Get a piece of rubber tubing that's long enough to reach from your C clamp to your oil bucket. Get a steel roll pin that's just about big enough to fit in your rubber tubing but not so big that it's wider than your C clamp! Now you grind one end of that roll pin to make a point, you're trying to make a can opener here so make it sharp. Next drill a hole in the flat side of the stationary jaw of your C clamp that's just big enough that the roll pin will fit if you drive it with a hammer. Drive the roll pin in with the pointy end toward the jackscrew on the opposite jaw of the C clamp. Put your rubber tubing on the tail of the roll pin and secure it with a hose clamp. Now, clamp that baby around your oil filter with the tubing and pointy roll pin at the bottom of the oil filter, put your bucket under your hose, and start turning the screw on the C clamp. The pointy roll pin will puncture the oil filter and drain the oil into your bucket. You may still get a drip or two but it won't be the big mess you would have had. I also used a little RTV around the roll pin as a seal to keep oil from seeping out past the roll pin while it is draining through the tubing. Geez that was wordy. I hope it makes sense. ________________________________ Message 15 ____________________________________ Time: 09:37:18 AM PST US Subject: RV-List: Pneumatic Squeezer From: "Valovich, Paul" --> RV-List message posted by: "Valovich, Paul" Last fall I bought a rebuilt 114C from U.S. Tool and have been very happy with both it and their support (George) in answering a riveting novice's DS questions.

Warm your engine oil to at least 100 degrees. Punch hole in top of filter with punch provided; tighten clamp around filter and install drain hose; rotate filter 1/2 turn; wait 5 to 10 minutes and filter will be empty of oil. Quick, clean, & easy. Instructions included. Works on all aircraft oil filters. PART # 815 PRICE: $ 26.00 ea.

All you need is a small funnel and some tubing. Secure the funnel right beneath the oil filter with some safety wire or whatever, and run tubing from the funnel down into a container. http://rvproject.com/images/2004/20040907_funnel_under_filter.jpg http://rvproject.com/images/2004/20040907_filter_drain_tube.jpg Punch a hole at the top of the oil filter. Punch it at the AFT end of the filter -- which is better gravity-wise on a taildragger, and it also keeps the hole from interfering with the filter element when you want to remove it later. Loosen the filter 180 degrees. Punch another hole at what is now the top (letting air get in and speeding up the drain process). I let it sit until it stops dribbling. Put masking tape or duct tape or whatever over the holes so residual oil doesn't drip as you rotate the filter the rest of the way off to remove it. Not a drop anywhere -- works every time. Don't need a $26 gadget! ;-) Another old trick I tried once on one of the Mooneys... I went to a motorcycle shop and picked an old innertube out of the dumpster. Chopped a section of the innertube at the valve about 2" wide. Removed the valve stem. Slide the innertube section over the oil filter. Take a hammer & tail and punch the hole through the valve stem. Attach a tube to the valve stem, and run the tube down to your oil pan/collector. Rotate the filter, and it theoretically drains out the valve stem and through the tube. Better in theory than in practice. Oil still managed to seep out around the edges of the innertube section. I like the funnel method, personally. )_( Dan RV-7 N714D http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Holyoke" Subject: RE: RV-List: oil filter > --> RV-List message posted by: "Ed Holyoke" > > Bud, > > I found this in the new Avery tool catalog: > > OIL FILTER DRAIN KIT > This tool makes draining oil from horizontally mounted filters clean amd > quick. > Warm your engine oil to at least 100 degrees.

Tom, I made up several different lengths of 1/2 wide aluminum strips, and tried different lengths to see how they felt. When I found the right length, I made them out of 4130 steel.
