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.

I really cranked the filter down tonight, however, it is still leaking. I guess I will have to drain the system and more closely inspect the mounting base. It is not leaking from the surrounding hoses, but seeping...well seeping in a pretty large amount from the seal on the filter at the mounting base.
Would a small bead of silicone cause a problem I am unaware of. Of course, I would rather it just work right. Sigh.
All the best,
Chris
