Tempest makes great products. I’ve switched from Champion, in part, because Tempest parts are nearly held the cost of Champion parts and I feel they’re even superior. Using their spark plugs I no longer get fouled plugs. Opening their oil filters after use and you can see it’s a quality product.

This is my third Tempest filter. I bought my first when it was impossible to get another Champion. Remember the supply chain? Supposedly, there is a magnet in it. The first thing I noticed is that my oil doesn’t get to the black appearance like it does when I use a Champion. It’s more of a brown color, maybe a little darker than chocolate milk.

I get some chiding from the mechanics when I bring the plane in for oil changes. They always look at me with a puzzled expression and ask, why dont I use the other one. I tell them I dont see the difference so why should I pay more.

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!

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.

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

Ive been using Champion filters exclusively for the past 16 years of aircraft ownership, so I thought Id try the Tempest filter since they were slightly cheaper. Well, you get what you pay for. It started leaking from the nut/cap within the first hour of operation. In 34 years of flying I have NEVER seen a filter come apart like that. Needless to say, I went back to the Champion filter. Kudos to Aircraft Spruce for replacing the defective filter without question (and letting me pay the difference to get the Champion filter).
