The filter element is made from medical grade, type 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth providing unmatched protection against oil contamination and resultant engine damage. A rare earth magnet is installed in the top of the element for magnetic pre-filtering of the oil. The unique twist lock design allows for easy disassembly, inspection and cleaning. The quad-ring gasket doubles the seal between the filter and the engine . The filter housing is carved out of a solid piece of 6061 T6 billet aluminum with cooling fins, which not only looks good but aids in dissipating heat. |
Excellent product!, this filter will save you a lot of money in disposable filters, also my plane runs a little bit cooler, very good quality machinning and finish. This filter is washable and it also contains a magnetic plug to keep the oil free of metal particles. Yes the Rotax engine have his own magnetic plug but the magnet in this filter is stronger.
