I originally ordered oil and a filter and the order had to be split based on inventory. Unfortunately during the Christmas chaos the filter package got lost. I called customer service and they quickly helped me by shipping out another filter. Many thanks to all who turned my minor stress event into a no brainer.

Usually get my filters from Spruce. Noticed that the last filters were dry lube and some were older stock that were not.
Not a big deal...I usually wipe the dry lube off and apply DC4 anyways. The first dry lube filter I used in April weeped.

A little cheaper than Champion, and contain a magnet to remove any steel particles.
The filter can is made from heavy duty steel, and the inside appears to be well made too. The magnet is an excellent feature. When I change filters the magnet has a small amount of dark ferrous metal dust on it.

I used this filter on my Light Sport Rotax 912. It is definitely a piece of mind, knowing that the filter now has the safety wire attached. I cant understand why Rotax doesnt provide the tabs for a safety wire.

I previously used Champions but switched to the Tempest. Though we always cut the filter after oil changes and check for metal, having the magnet it the Tempest gives a little extra chance to collect and see magnetic metals.

Always a good investment. Always a good value. Well made here in the USA. A good feature is the gasket that needs no lubrication. Ive been using Tempest oil filters on my C310 for years.

Tempest is the best whether it is their oil flilters or their spark plugs. Superior to Champion, especially their UREM38S fine wire spark plugs. The magnet in the oil filters do their job. Great products from this company!

Quality filter. Both the Champion and Tempest are certified down to 40 microns. The Tempest is cheaper and has an internal magnet, the Champion does not. This is my preferred oil filter for my Mooney. AA48110-2

Ordered 6 Tempest Oil Filters at a price less than any other competitor. They arrived within the time specified. My only complaint was the packing material of styrofoam peanuts rather than crumpled paper. When I opened the box at my hanger the wind blew a bunch all over the hanger and I had to spend time cleaning them up.

For several years since I purchased my 1975 Cessna 150M I used the Champion 48108 short filter when I changed oil. The previous owner installed an Airwolf remote oil filter so a few oil changes ago I decided to try the longer Tempest 48109 filter. It works great and I get almost an extra pint of oil into the system. It does as good (if not better) a job as Champion, and costs less!

I ordered 2 cases of oil, a wrench, and a safety wire pliers. I’m still waiting for the oil and the pliers.
The filter is fine but without the other items I’m limited. The wrench came in a couple of days after the filter. I’m still in need of the oil and pliers.

Good filters. However, remove the paint from the 1 Nut used to remove it before installation. Your socket will not fit very well and the paint seems to lubricate and causes the socket to slip and now you are stuck trying to remove it the old fashioned way. It created an unbelievable mess.
I discussed this issue with a rep at Sun N Fun last year. He gave me a vague response.
Chris K

I had the same difficulty in removing the filter as Cody S mentioned. I installed the filter myself,
so I know it was not over torqued. I followed the directions and refrained from lubricating the
sealing gasket. Apparently the solid lubricant Tempest is so proud of didn’t work. From now
on I’ll be applying DC4 to gaskets on Tempest filters.

Changing a customers oil in his SR-22, I had a hell of a time removing the Tempest oil filter. It could have been over torqued during the last oil change, (not done by me), but definitely not EZ.
Cody S

This Tempest 103 filter started leaking past the seal 10 hrs after installation. Was able to hand tighten almost another full turn after discovering leak. Suspect the dry method Tempest uses on the seal does not allow enough compression of the seal before it reaches specified torque. Will never use Tempest again, could easily have lost my engine!
