| Subject: | inspecting innards of oil filter |
I put a new oil filter in my IO-360 a week ago and cut open the old one.
Does any one know which way the oil flows thru the filter? Does it go from
the inside out to the periphery or the other way round? If it goes from the
outside to the inside, then I only have to inspect the outsie - easily
visible - surface. If it goes the other way, I have to inspect the harder
to get to (= really messy) inner surface.
Thanks,

You need to look at the inside by cutting the element off of the support.

Tom,
Oil flows from outside to the inside.
So, for a quick look you can just spread the pleats. But the right way is to
cut it out of there and lay it flat.

Tom:
Oil goes from the OUTSIDE in. For the past 14-years=2C I have cut every fil
ter open at oil change on my 2=2C536 Hobbs hours RV-6. There has NEVER be
en anything on the inside but I do occasionally find stuff on the outside.
Cut the paper off and stretch it out is the proper way to do it. Some guys
was it out with solvent to inspect for even smaller parts.
