I always lube my new oil filters with a few drops of oil. Many years ago I read the directions and they said to do this. Now they say install it dry. Evidently, I must reread directions each time I do something. This seemed so simple but No.

Regular use it on our heli.

have not used them yet

Excellent quality and performance

We service a number of GA aircraft and the Tempest filter is the oil filter of choice.

Thanks for the great service

The oil filter application guide for Cirrus said it will fit SR20. Use 48109 for SR22. I ordered 48109 and it did not fit because of the AC line. If you have air condition, use 48108-2

Ive got foreflight cool airplanes that we are using these on. For 30 years I used to Champion but I thought Id try these because the cost was a little bit lower and I go through a lot of filters. So far everything is fine about them, the only reason Im not giving them 5 stars is that since the gasket has to be dry, I have to let the oil drain overnight in a couple of my airplanes because theres no way to get the filter on there fast enough that a little bit of oil isnt still dribbling by. Thats a little bit of a pain in the butt for me to have two drain oil night and then first thing in the morning finish an oil change! I sort of wish they did not have the fancy gasket, I never had problems in the past getting the champion filters off so this feature doesnt really impress me.

I fly a twin so I need two filters. My find is Tempest was much better before they starting using the no DC4 on the seal. To pull the filters can now be a challenge because they simply are much harder to remove and they were torqued to the proper value during the install.. Called Tempest today and they said, you can remove the additive on the seal by wiping the seal with a wet rag. My opinion, if it isnt broke dont fix it. Im going back to Champion.

We like the added features of the Tempest Filters !

Quality well made filter, arrived quickly.

Good

Excellent product, excellent price, excellent service!

I like the hex head for torquing and the new seal technology that requires no lubricant. Make sure to wipe the mating surface on the engine clean of any lubricant and install the filter to a dry surface.

This will help improve oil quality in these old engines!

Switched to Tempest Filters a year ago after a presentation and evaluation at Air Venture, Oshkosh. Now they are my first choice filter.

Much better quality than the other brand at a much cheaper price. I havent had one get stuck when correctly torqued. Read the new instructions on the Spin EZ type of seal prior to use.

Great product! Really helped to clean up the oil trend analysis for my engine. Highly recommended.

Works great, love the hex head for removal. Very fast shipping.

This device keeps my oil filtered.

Good quality filter

Ive been using Tempest filters and spark plugs since the Champion rep at Oshkosh tried to tell me there was absolutely no problem with their spark plugs. Tempest has great products.

Tempest filters are great. I like the magnetic chip catcher and the new self lubricating seal. The only thing I would recommend when removing the filter for change is to use a 6 point socket. Twice now I stripped out the torque hex head while attempting to remove with a 12 point socket. Otherwise a superior oil filter.

These filter have been great for my Champ and Spruce the best in shipping.

Great oil filter and thanks for fast shipping .

Great affordable fit for my 182 Q

These filters do an excellent job and have a internal magnet. I have used them for years.

Received shipment in Alaska in four days!

Excellent product, have used it for all of our oil changes on our Cessna 172M.

Excellent quality. Reasonable price. Fast delivery.

Great, easy install, shipping was quick.

Perfect

Great product and exceptional customer service.

Like others I tried the Tempest filter because it is more economical than the Champion brand. They seem to do the job. Oddly, however, while I have never had trouble unscrewing a Champion filter, I had a heck of a time removing the Tempest filter yesterday. Because I donâ??t fly nearly enough these days the filter only had 35 hours on it since the last annual. This is not going to stop me from buying and using Tempest filters. I just thought it amusing because of the hype Tempest makes about easy removal.

easy order, fast shipping

As advertised

Good filters, good price, fast shipping

Received very well packed . These filters are easy to remove with the factory lube on the gasket .

Just installed so I cant give it a higher rating yet. Went on as expected.

Got it on time, the right item, for the right price!

Good

Good product at a fair price. Shipping charges not withstanding.

Great filter, I only use them

good filter and decent price. make sure to snug these on good as the last two tempest filters Ive used have had an issue sealing to the filter adapter without some real torque applied.

order was complete and on time
