securing your oil filter
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
hi all,
was reading the zenith site, one member had a 750 stol (UL 350)with a automotive type oil filter. it came loose and leaked all his oil. he made it back to the runway but the engine was toast. champion oil filters for cont/lyc have a tab to safety wire. we can do this with our engines running automotive type filters by putting a band clamp around the filter and securing with safety wire.
fly safe!
