Same here. Mine arrived with a little packet of anti-seize. I made it "good and tight" and then safety wired. IIRC, I used a Tempest oil filter torque wrench, just pushing past the click at 17 pounds. That's a great gadget by the way.
Now pondering whether I should create an access panel in the lower cowling so that I can drain the oil without removing the lower cowling.
There's a lot to be said for getting a look around in there when changing the oil, but removing the lower cowling is a real pain, and puts stress on my FAB (which broke once before, apparently not an uncommon problem).
?. I'm not trying to sell product, nor add a negative comment in regards to
this specific product, as I have no personal experience with this brand. I am
just giving my personal opinion, and relaying what I do on my own planes. I
like to have a good look around, and check for loose bolts, cracks, oil leaks
Etc. when doing an oil change. When changing oil I usually change the filter
as well and this is always easier when everything is opened up. Over the many
years I have had several quick drain valves, and almost without exception they
seemed to develop leaks and drips as the o-rings aged. I prefer a magnetic
drain plug, that every time I remove it I have the opportunity to see what it
has captured. This shows you a trend and is an excellent indicator of camshaft
and lifter wear. The magnet also catches all the ferrous material from the oil
before it can get to and damage the oil pump (very beneficial) and can vastly
extend engine life. I see no benefit in having anything else in our R/V type
applications. Thanks, Allan
