3036376 - Pratt and Whitney Engines Oil Filter Element Assembly for PW100 JT15D PT6B Engines

3036376 – Pratt & Whitney OEM Engine Oil Filter Element Assembly

Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.

Overview

The Pratt & Whitney 3036376 is the genuine OEM, flight-critical, disposable engine oil filter element assembly for a wide range of Pratt & Whitney Canada's most successful turbine engines, including the PW100, JT15D, and PT6B series. This component is the definitive standard for protecting the engine's lubrication system. It is the filter that the engine was originally designed, tested, and certified with, guaranteeing a perfect match to the engine's demanding operational requirements for fluid flow, pressure, and filtration.

Engineered with an advanced, high-efficiency synthetic microglass media, the 3036376 is designed to capture and retain the microscopic contaminants that are most damaging to high-speed bearings, gears, and fuel control units. The filter's construction includes a calibrated safety bypass valve and offers a high dirt-holding capacity for a long service life. For operators who demand the ultimate assurance of quality and conformity to the original type certificate, this genuine Pratt & Whitney OEM filter is the only choice.

Key Features

• Genuine Pratt & Whitney OEM Part: The original, factory-specified filter, guaranteeing 100% conformity to the engine's design and certification requirements.

• Advanced Synthetic Media: Utilizes a high-performance, pleated synthetic microglass media for superior filtration efficiency and particle capture at the micron level.

• Superior Dirt-Holding Capacity: The depth-loading characteristic of the media provides a long, reliable service life while maintaining optimal oil flow.

• Integrated Safety Bypass Valve: A precisely calibrated, integrated bypass valve ensures the engine is never starved of oil, a critical safety feature specified by the engine manufacturer.

• Certified Engine Protection: Provides the exact level of contamination control required by Pratt & Whitney to protect critical components and ensure the engine reaches its full Time Between Overhaul (TBO).

Aircraft Compatibility

The 3036376 is the OEM-specified filter for a wide range of aircraft powered by the following Pratt & Whitney Canada engine series:

• P&WC PW100 Series (Turboprop): Found on the ATR 42/72, Bombardier Dash 8 (Q-Series), Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia, and others.

• P&WC JT15D Series (Turbofan): Found on the Cessna Citation I/II/V, Hawker 400 (Beechjet), and others.

• P&WC PT6B Series (Turboshaft): Found on helicopters such as the Agusta A119 Koala.

Note: This is a flight-critical engine component. The specific engine Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) for a given engine serial number is the final and absolute authority for determining part applicability.

Applications

• Contamination Control: Provides the primary fine filtration of the engine's lubricating oil, protecting high-speed rolling-element bearings, the reduction gearbox, and other wetted components from abrasive wear.

• Engine Health Monitoring: The post-service inspection of the used filter element is a primary method of monitoring the internal health of the engine.

Why Choose 3036376?

The oil filter is the kidney of your multi-million-dollar turbine engine. While FAA-PMA parts are certified alternatives, the genuine Pratt & Whitney 3036376 is the gold standard. It provides the ultimate peace of mind that you are using the exact component that the engine manufacturer designed, tested, and validated through thousands of hours of rigorous certification testing. There is no question of equivalency—it is the benchmark. For warranty compliance, absolute conformity, and the assurance of using the part specified by the engine's creators, the OEM filter is the definitive choice.

A critical and often overlooked engineering principle in the 3036376 filter is the precise calibration of its bypass valve. This valve is a non-resettable safety device of last resort. Its spring is meticulously calibrated by Pratt & Whitney to open only at a specific differential pressure (ΔP) across the filter media—a pressure that indicates the filter is dangerously clogged. The P&W OEM specification ensures this setting is perfect for the engine's unique oil system architecture. It is not so low that it opens prematurely during a cold start or high-power setting, which would allow damaging, unfiltered oil to circulate. Conversely, it is not set so high that the filter media will collapse or the engine will be starved of oil before the valve opens. This precise calibration, based on the engine OEM's unparalleled proprietary performance data, is a critical safety feature that guarantees lubrication is maintained under the worst-case contamination scenarios.

Note: The 3036376 is a flight-critical, disposable component. It must be installed by a certified A&P/IA mechanic during a scheduled oil and filter change, in strict accordance with the Pratt & Whitney Canada engine maintenance manual. The new seal must be lubricated with clean engine oil, and the filter canister must be torqued to the specified value. The used filter element must be cut open and the media inspected for metal particles as a primary means of engine health monitoring.
