I'm checking overseas to see what 996 owners may have come up with to change from the cannister type oil filters to use the more readily available, cheaper, and easier-to-use spin on filters.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Porsche Club GB: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello Y'all, I'm checking overseas to see what 996 owners may have come up with to change from the cannister type oil filters to use the more readily available, cheaper, and easier-to-use spin on filters. Any links or suggestions? Thanks.

POST 2Original post

The only one I have seen is made by LN Engineering in the US: http://www.lnengineering.com/spinonfilteradapter.html I'm not sure if the filters are available over here though. Id doesn't stack up financially though. You can buy an awful lot of filters for the price of the kit......

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Richar, Thank you. Yes, that's the only one I have seen too, but at around $150, I also wonder whether I will have my car that long to make it worth it.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
