My guess is that the guys at LN being overly cautious feel the need to inspect your filter more regularly than every 5k.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Following LN Engineering's recommendations, the filter needs to be changed more often than the oil. Anyone using the spin-on adapter: approx. how much oil is lost when replacing a spin-on filter? I'm assuming the experience will be similar to changing one of the cartridges, but I want to ensure that I don't wind up with 9 quarts of oil on the floor...

POST 2Original post

Do you mean just replacing the filter or doing the whole oil change? I just got a 996 the first thing I did was change the oil, it had a spin on adapter on it. I got more than 9 quarts out.

POST 3Original post

Depends on which spin-on filter you use but none hold as much as the OEM "cup" so you shouldn't have more than 1/2 qt. Good quality filter, (K&N, Wix, Mobil 1,etc.) should last 10,K miles so I just change mine at 5,K miles with the oil.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, Byprodriver. Pcargo, I was asking about the oil lost when replacing the spin-on filter, not an entire oil change.

OP said that LN recommends changing filter more often than oil. Wanted to know how many ounces of oil are needed to top off. My guess is that the guys at LN being overly cautious feel the need to inspect your filter more regularly than every 5k. Cheap insurance.

POST 8Original post

It's because the adapter eliminates the bypass in case the filter becomes clogged enough to block oil flow. Highly unlikely unless there is a major engine failure in progress. This insures the oil is filtered under any condition, but it is not idiot proof. In any event I prefer any foreign material be contained in the filter instead of bypassed throughout the engine via the oil.
