Hello Everyone,
This may have been discussed before, and I'm just not remembering, but what
is everyone doing for oil filters; since they stopped manufacturing the
stubby Wix filters?
I just started flying my plane again after a really, really long break. It
sure feels good.
Happy Flying,

A Wix (or NAPA) 57035 will fit, it's also used on some Briggs and
Stratton engines. It's the same size as the discontinued part number.
I bought a dozen earlier this year from an eBay store listing. Item
number: 270055221465. The picture in the eBay listing is wrong, but if
you look at the item page the correct picture is shown in the full
description. They list for $75/dozen but I offered him $60 and he
accepted, he might take less. NAPA filters are made by Wix.
A Fram PH8170 also looks like it will fit. Item number: 400016559846
on eBay. I haven't tried this one, I'e heard Fram filters aren't as
good as Wix.

Welcome back to the sky. I bought a case of those filters when I heard
they were being discontinued. I don't mind selling one here and there
but it sounds like there are replacements.

Hi Jim,
Go to your Lowe's building supply store or equivalent and find the
Briggs & Stratton ELS Series Part Number 5076
This is a premium filter and it is what I use. There's a black Briggs as
well that looks the same and can be used also.

Hi Jim, or anyone else that is looking for the original Stratus supplied Wix
oil filter.
I purchased a case before Wix discontinued this filter (#51065). I have
switched over to a remote oil filter which take a much larger filter.
Anyway I still have 5 filters left that I will not be needing. If anyone is
interested in them drop me a email.

Kelly,
How is your remote oil filter working out? Did you add an oil cooler
too? If not, did the remote filter reduce temps at all? I wonder if
moving the filter to some cool airflow would make a noticeable
difference without the added weight and space of an oil cooler.

Hi Gary, good to hear from you again, hope all is well.
I like the remote filter mainly for the ease of changing the filter (no more
knuckle busting). I also added the J.C. Whitney cooling fins that goes
around the filter. Adding the remote filter with the much larger canister,
plus the added lines allows me to hold an additional qt. of oil in my
engine.
My filter is now located under the passengers feet, not totally in free
moving air because it's only a few inches off the belly of the plane, but
still better than between the oil pan and muffler! I did not add an oil
cooler. My oil & water temps dropped about 5 deg each with remote filter &
fins (with air at 72 deg & cruising at 4,000 rpm my water now runs about
200, and oil around 210 at 58 psi).
Have a happy 09!
Kelly
PS. As I'm writing this my son is landing at his home in Midland TX. Guess
he didn't want to spend the winter here in the cold & snowy northern IL
(must be nice).
