Hi all. Anyone know the part number for an IO 320 reusable oil filter. TIA.
Hi all. Anyone know the part number for an IO 320 reusable oil filter. TIA.
Got mine from a motorcycle shop in the UK. And they're also sold for Mercedes cars…hunt one down in Australia
Thanks everyone, yes it is the K&P my mistake. Good tip Scroll, the second element. I’ll have to hunt one down in Australia, unfortunately I missed it at Oshkosh this year as the filter wasn’t on my list.
Clean and inspect the dirty element later at your own leisure
Ok, I’ll bite
Where’s the benefit? Cleaning the filter takes just 10 minutes, same as was the cutting open/inspection of the good old standard oil filter. Just part of an oil change or CI, which I do at convenience
No need for second filter which will sit on the bench, get dusty/dirty, insects in it, tool impacts, etc.
It’s a good idea to have a spare on hand just in case you damage the one you are cleaning. I also have several spare gaskets on hand along with a spare spring for mine.
Well, if you can find a standard filter, it is cheaper than the element, however if you have the K&P set up along with back-up parts, it makes no sense to keep a disposable on the shelf.Wouldn't it be cheaper to just keep a Champion/Tempest paper filter on hand instead?

Really, if you just have a second RV in the hangar you can switch to it when needed...I ordered a new engine which should be shipping soon… I’ll then have a spare engine should I damage the filter element, or the gasket, or the seal
Do you prime you spare element? Or not?

But then I need a second hangar in a different location, if the first hangar is iced shut. And I need another way to get to the second hangar, which means I need a third RV...
A vicious circle.
Seems to me finding out if the engine is making metal before I just install another filter element and take-off would be prudent, but hey, that's just me.

If I recall, when I did the oil change on the RV1, it didn’t have a filter, just a screen. Scott can help me with that memory as I did it with his tools at Vans.
Anyone have a source or the specs for the 3/4" nipple required for the S15 when using it in place of the CH48110-1?
1. Remove it from your old filter.
2. Most Auto Parts stores have them
3. Amazon
For 2 and 3, make sure that you know the threads on each end that you need.

Is the 18-20 foot pound torque working well for the S15 or does it make removal hard / damage the X-ring?
I just completed my 5th oil change on the S15, and noticed the first sign of damage to the O-ring. I have a couple extra O-rings, you should keep a spare or two - they don't last forever.
Any have a part number to save me the pain of ordering the wrong size O-ring?
Just thought you might want to know. I used the K&P S-15 reusable oil filter on my O-320 and it worked great until I got to the change the Quad Ring. The original spare that came with the filter did not fit. It was just a hair bigger and every time you pushed down on one side it seemed to bounce up on another side in the groove. I went to the extra spare that I had purchased at the same time and same thing happened. Not sure how two replacement Quad Rings somehow came a hair too big. Seemed like it swelled up somehow. These things were stored in my hangar with everything else.
Anyone with the same experience? If so, solutions? Should I put the Quad Rings in the fridge to shrink it?
I just wanted to let everyone know that I have a similar product for sale on my site. $175 shipped to your door. Search "filter"
I also have oil filter relocation systems. If you need fittings and hose, I can get that as well.
