CH48110-1 – Champion Aerospace Spin-On Oil Filter
Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.
Overview
The Champion Aerospace CH48110-1 is a premium, FAA-PMA approved spin-on oil filter engineered for a wide range of Lycoming aircraft engines. As a world leader in aviation filtration technology, Champion has designed the CH48110-1 to provide maximum protection against harmful contaminants, ensuring the longevity and reliability of your powerplant. This filter features a full-pleat, resin-impregnated media design and robust internal construction to deliver superior filtration efficiency, high flow rates, and exceptional durability under all operating conditions.
Key Features
- Full-Pleat Synthetic Media: Utilizes a proprietary, resin-impregnated, full-pleat synthetic filter media. This design provides a massive surface area for filtration, capturing a higher volume of microscopic contaminants (including metallic particles from engine wear) compared to standard filters.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Features a thick-walled steel canister and a heavy-duty steel mounting plate, providing a high burst strength (up to 500 PSI) to withstand the pressure surges common during cold engine starts.
- Improved Internal Design: Employs a robust coil spring to support the filter element, a significant improvement over older leaf-spring designs. This prevents media collapse under high pressure differentials and ensures unfiltered oil cannot bypass the element.
- Strutted Canister: The canister is specially designed with reinforcing struts for added structural integrity, further increasing its resistance to high internal pressures and external impacts.
- Integrated Anti-Drain Back Valve: Contains an internal anti-drain back valve mechanism. This prevents oil from draining out of the filter and engine galleries when the engine is shut down, ensuring immediate oil pressure and lubrication upon the next startup.

Applications
The CH48110-1 is a critical component for maintaining engine health:
- Engine Lubrication System: Its primary function is to remove harmful solid contaminants—such as carbon, sludge, and metal particles—from the engine oil.
- Preventative Maintenance: Regular replacement of the oil filter during an oil change is the most critical preventative maintenance task for ensuring engine longevity.
- Engine Health Monitoring: Inspection of the old filter's contents by cutting it open is a key diagnostic tool for detecting early signs of abnormal engine wear.
Why Choose CH48110-1?
Clean oil is the lifeblood of your aircraft engine. The Champion CH48110-1 provides a superior level of protection by combining a high-capacity, high-efficiency filter media with an incredibly robust structural design. Its advanced features, such as the coil spring support and high burst strength canister, ensure that your engine receives a continuous supply of clean, filtered oil under all conditions, from a cold start on the ramp to high-altitude cruise. For certified performance and peace of mind, Champion is the proven leader in aviation filtration.

The Champion CH48110-1 filter element employs a "semi-depth" filtration strategy. The resin-impregnated and cured cellulosic fibers create a complex, multi-layered path for the oil to travel through. This design combines the benefits of surface filtration, where larger particles are trapped on the outer layer, with depth filtration, where smaller, microscopic contaminants become embedded within the matrix of the filter media. This ensures a high particle capture efficiency without creating an excessive pressure drop across the filter. The filter also contains an integrated bypass valve, a critical safety feature that will open to allow unfiltered oil to lubricate the engine in the rare event that the filter media becomes completely clogged, ensuring lubrication is maintained over filtration.
Note: Always apply a thin film of clean engine oil to the gasket before installation. Tighten the filter by hand until the gasket makes contact, then tighten an additional 3/4 to one full turn as specified on the filter canister. Do not overtighten. Safety wire the filter using the provided tabs on the hex nut to prevent it from vibrating loose.FAA-PMA Eligibility: [ Click Here ]
Champion spin-on oil filters are the most popular filters on the market today. Based on customer feedback, the CH48110-1 can height was shortened by 1/2" to make them easier to install, with no reduction in filtering media. Other improvements include increased can thickness, improved inlet design, increasing inlet flow area by 30%, a new zinc plated base stud, and an improved by-pass valve. Approved by both Lycoming and Continental Motors.
