Overview

Spin-On Oil Filter CH48103-1 by Champion. Replaces oil filter element. Easy to install. Saves time and clean-up. FAA Approved.

Customers told Champion Aerospace the height of a standard oil filter can make it difficult for them to install the filter in certain engine applications. So, operating on the premise that size really does matter, they made their Champion oil filter can 1/2" shorter and, in the process, added design improvements that now make their filters stronger and more effective than ever before.

Champion Aerospace’s full-pleat, resin-impregnated micronic filter media traps all harmful particles, including metallic chips which result from abnormal engine wear. Because the oil flows through many layers of locked-in fibers, there is no migration of fiber material to clog engine oil passages or affect bearing surfaces. According to industry-approved tests, the Champion oil filter traps and holds more dirt and harmful particles during its normal operating time than any other similar filter.

  • Replacement elements service engine-mounted or line-installed filter systems incorporating a permanent housing assembly.
  • All sizes of replacement elements are packed 12 per case of a single part number in heavy, re-shippable corrugated-board cartons
  • Modern spin-on oil filters contain the element, incorporating the anti-drain back valve mechanism (and internal bypass valve 48108-1/48109-1), and are sealed in a disposable housing.
  • All sizes of spin-on filters are packed 12 per case of a single part number in heavy, re-shippable corrugated-board cartons.

  • Shorter stud length on CH 48110-1 for tight clearance applications.
  • Heavy, corrugated steel center tube supports each convoluted pleat of the filter element and produces a substantially higher collapse-pressure rating, twice that of other similar filters.
  • Maximum full-flow design, without interference from center-bolt oil filter assemblies, provides increased oil filtration each engine-operating hour.

I chose this oil filter over its Tempest counterpart. I have been very satisfied with the Champion filter and will continue to pay a little extra for it.

Q: Can you tell me what the -1 means in the CH48108-1? The filter that I currently have is just ES48108

The -1 at the end of a Champion oil filter indicates that it is the newest version of the filter, which is shorter than the original oil filter. The original size has not been available for several years. If you are replacing the ES48108, then the CH48108-1 (part number 08-00907) is the correct replacement.

Q: What is the difference between the Champion Oil Filter # CH48108-1 and the CH48109-1?

The CH48108-1 & CH48109-1 have the same mounting thread, but the CH48109-1 is a taller filter than the CH48108-1.

Q: Can I use a CH48104 in place of a CH48103 if I have the necessary clearance?

The CH48103-1 and CH48104-1 are interchangeable.

Q: Can the Champion CH48108, CH48109, and CH48110 oil filters be used interchangeably?

The CH48108-1 & CH48109-1 can be used interchangeably. The CH48109-1 is just longer than the CH48108-1, and both units have female threads for installation. The CH48110-1 has male threads and is interchangeable with the CH48111-1.

Q: What is the overall length of the CH48103-1 Champion oil filter?

The overall length is approximately 4-3/4".

Q: If I remember right, the CH48110-1 is just the shorter version of the CH48111-1, correct?

Yes, that is correct. CH48110-1 is the shorter version of the CH48111-1. Both have the same thread.

Q: I bought a Cessna 177B FG 1976 and the mechanics have been using the Champion CH48103-1 part oil filter. However, the Champion chart from your website specifies this part number for the RG with IO-360 200h.p. engine, and says to use CH48110-1 for my FG type airplane with the O-360 180h.p. engine. Are these 2 oil filters interchangeable, and what are the differences?

They are not interchangeable. The CH48103-1 has female threads and the CH48110-1 has male threads. There are two Champion documents we have listed. Each has a different filter for this application. This must be a misprint. Consult your A&P if you have concerns with the filter they are using. You may also want review your aircraft, or engine, parts manual.

Q: Does the Champion CH48108-1 filter have an internal check valve? I am looking for a filter that does not have an internal check valve.

This part does have a internal check valve. All current oil filters made by Champion and Tempest will have this.

Q: What oil filter goes on a Continental IO-240-B engine?

The recommended filter for the IO-240-B is the CH48108-1 according to the Champion application chart.

Q: What size threads on the Champion Oil Filter CH48103-1?

13/16-16 thread.
