No Silicone. At All. If its not sealing then find the problem and fix 
it. Or replace the filter.. or replace the filter mount.

The oil filter base may have a removable (universal-type) threaded inner 
fitting that the filter spins onto. I dont remember the exact part I 
bought for the plane years ago. Make sure its not backing out, and make 
sure you are using the right filter. I bought a mount that would use the 
same filter as a 5.0L Ford Mustang... something universally available.
