Me too. Helps to order several year's worth to bury the shipping charge.

Happy New Year

I recently did some shop and compare for supplies for an oil change. I
compared:

spruce www.aircraftspruce.com
chief www.chiefaircraft.com
wagaero www.wagaero.com

Overall, spruce had the best price (by about $10) for a case of aeroshell, a
ch48110 and some miscellaneous other stuff (some new plugs, safety wire,
etc). I ended up ordering from spruce but see below.

One annoying thing about spruce is that they don't include the shipping
price in the final total. They're usually not out of line, but I'd prefer
to see the whole price before I place the order. Conversely, wagaero tells
you the exact price before you complete the transaction. I never got far
enough through chief's process to find out how they do it.

Of the three, I think chief has the best web catalog although spruce isn't
bad. wag's online catalog is very difficult to browse with.

I've previously ordered from both spruce and wag and have never had any
problems (i.e. missing items, incorrect charges, etc).

cheers,
mark

I noticed that about 'spruce too.

Thanks for the responses. Seems like the filter is $15 no matter where ya
find it. I went with Wag Aero, to support the Wisconsin business, and they
will probably arrive quicker.

Another vote for Chief. They are in Oregon so there is no sales tax.

Just checked it out. Looks like all they have are filters for turbines.

You might want to consider trying the new Challenger brand filters. I saw them at
AOPA Expo, and they appear to be at least equal in quality to Champion, but they're
about $2.00 cheaper. Aircraft Spruce sells them.

don't think they are out of business. Don't take the word of an EXPERT, get it
from the people

But they charge more than Aircraft Spruce, and, being in New Jersey, I don't pay
sales tax on orders from either.

Hmmm. That's interesting. To tell you the truth, I've never compared. I
started using Chief 11-12 years ago, and they've always given me good
service, so I stuck with them.

Problem with the Challenger which I find out after I bought one for my
io-540 is no wrench fits the lug. Most strange, but there it is. Gotta be
metric but I'm surprised they would do that for a "plug-compatible"
replacement...

Challenger sucks. We bought one and found the same thing -- no wrench in my
tool box fit the lug.

Then -- worst of all -- the thing is made out of a much heavier-gauge metal
than the Champions. While at first this seemed like a good thing, it made
cutting the filter open to inspect the filter damn-near impossible.

In fact, it destroyed the cutting wheel on my filter cutter, requiring that
I buy a new one. The two bucks I saved was more than lost in that expense,
plus the extra time involved.

Since then, it's only Champions on my O-540.

I never cut my filter, but send a sample to the lab every 100 hours.

Inspecting your oil filter for debris is something that should be done at
every oil change.

Doing so before buying my plane saved me $5000.

Not necessarily.

Lab work will detect microscopic particles, and may miss big chunks.

The oil analysis for the engine that was in my plane (that was making metal
in little slivers the size of fingernails) came back "normal".

Cut 'em open, Hank. It take two minutes with the proper tool, and can save
you a bundle.

Plus, he said he was analyzing each 100 hrs. A lot can happen in 100
hrs, and oil changes should be considerably more frequent that that.

I may be anal retentive, but I try to do it every 35.

I aim for every 25, and usually hit it by 35. Longest ever, with filter
change, was 41, after a long trip racked up 15 hours.

After spending $18K rebuilding our engine, oil looks pretty cheap! :-)

Bingo.

I just had to do my IO-540, cost over $25K. Oil's cheap insurance.
