I did, too. It's slightly OT, but has anyone tried their remote
oil-filter?
The idea looks promising (and our hangar floor would benefit from
"hassel-free" oil-filter change ;-)


We installed one on our O-540 during the rebuild two years ago, and love it.
It makes changing the oil MUCH easier, especially on an O-540, where the
filter was mounted horizontally on the top/back of the engine. When you
unscrewed it, the filter would literally back up into the firewall (which
was dented from all the years of doing this), and you could just barely get
it out.

Meanwhile, of course, you were dumping the entire quart of oil all over the
engine...

Now, it's ALMOST a clean job. I still seem to manage to get oil everywhere,
but that's probably just me!
