Tempest AA48110-2 Cut and Post

[FastLane]

Off my Cessna 150 Continental O-200A. New cylinder breaking in. 22 hours air time on the Philips 20W50 oil.

The Tempest filter has a magnet inside to catch metal. Thick walls on the filter. I couldn't use tin snips so I had to hacksaw the filter open. The metal pieces is from my hacksaw job.

How much does the filter cost if you don't mind me asking? Aboud 30 years ago I was at the United airlines MOC at SFO and there was an engine case with a label saying APU value $300,000.00 [I rounded out the amount] Aviation is a Latin word for unbelievably expensive.

I see it doesn't have any cardboard end caps or media tears. LOL.

Aircraft piston engine oil filters generally run $20-$30

Now-a-days, that's the "core value"
Modern APU's are often over $1,000,000

Main engines (turbine) many times that amount. They are often leased items.
