This is an 90 degree oil filter adapter fully machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and anodize in black. It is similar to other adapters on the market but only weighs 17.2 oz. made of billet rather than cast aluminum.
The GSM Inc. vertical "full flow" oil filter kit is designed to offer Lycoming engine owners several advantages over the standard Lycoming oil screen or filter hardware. This kit repositions the filter in a vertical orientation, delivering two primary benefits:
Clean Filter Changes When it’s time to replace the filter, a simple prick punch in the top of the filter allows oil to drain back into the sump, preventing spills during removal. This eliminates the need to clean the accessory case, lower cowl, or nose gear area. Adapter and Gasket kit ONLY (No Oil Filter Included). Some applications require a spacer between the adapter and accessory case. 8130 Form are not available for this adapter |
