Hi, Jerry....my oil filter is close to the area
where air exits the cowling (on a canard pusher aircraft), so there is plenty of
air already going by the oil filter on it's way out of the cowling. I just
ordered the finned oil cooler cover. There is just no way that the air
could not hit the filter on it's way out of the cowling....Only one way out, and
the oil filter is right in the way. So, what the heck....it can't hurt.
For 20 bucks, even if it does nothing, it looks cool. Paul

reminding me. I am going to put one on also. I STILL say....it

All this talk about oil
filters and finned oil pans has reminded me of something I was going to try
before.
JC
Whitney offers a simple device that slips over your filter for additional
cooling

It was discussed on the RV
list about a year ago with a few claims of 10 degree temp drops. They only
want $20 so I was going to try it, as it falls into that "can't hurt"
category. However JC Whitney's web order page doesn't have an option to ship
to Canada and I couldn't find another source, so I just forgot about it. I
just found that Aircraft $pruce now sells them for $33 and I found a Porsche
supply shop that sells them for $35, but throws in a free Porsche oil filter
(Hey I always wanted a Porsche, maybe I can build the car around it... I got
it one piece at a time, yeah, yeah....
:-)
Before I go to the trouble, has anyone
else tried or considered one of these?
