Make oil changes easy again! LN Engineering has heard this plea from the Porsche community and has answered with their exclusive patent pending full-flow spin-on oil filter adapter. No longer do you need to use expensive and inferior replacement cartridge-style filters, worry about contamination of the oil filter housing, or thinking you have cross threaded the cheap plastic filter housing. This adapter allows you to use a popular size conventional spin-on filter found at any auto supply store for a fraction of the price of the original filter.
The LN Engineering Spin-On Oil filter adapter also helps improve the longevity of your engine by providing full flow filtration, which means 100% of the oil gets filtered without having oil bypass the filter (as the factory filter housing allows for).
Better filtration and easier oil changes at the fraction of the price for OE replacement parts.
LN Engineering recommends the use of NAPA Gold oil filters* (Part #1042), which exceeds the quality of traditional Mahle spin-on filters typically found on air cooled Porsche engines. *LN Engineering and IMGT3 are not affiliated to NAPA in any way.
Fits 2005-2008 Porsche Boxster S.
Instructions
Lubricate both o-rings prior to installation with appropriate o-ring lubricant. Screw the oil filter adapter onto the engine by hand. You can feel when the rubber O-rings begin to seat and once the adapter snugs up to the block, tighten the spin-on filter adapter using installation tool (if installing Rev 0) or slip the appropriate 26mm socket over the filter nipple to tighten (Rev 1, sold after Dec 2009)
Unless the spin-on filter adapter is butted up to the block, it is not installed right. Once the spin-on filter adapter is mated with the block correctly, then torque - do not exceed 25 Nm (18 Ft/Lbs) torque when tightening.
Also be sure to oil the filter gasket first before installing! Filter should be installed by hand then once snug, turned another 3/4 to 1 turn to finish filter installation, or to the filter manufacturers recommended specifications.
