That looks like a stock Cessna oil filter adapter. It... works. It replaces the existing screen and has a place for the oil temp probe to thread in. However, it has a recurring AD (AD 96-12-22) where the torque has to be checked every oil filter change or 100 hours, whichever comes first.

Not a deal-breaker, but not as easy or convenient as the Tempest (nee F&M) oil filter adapter.
