Looking for service in Chicagoland featuring LN Engineering parts?
Billet full-flow Spin-On Oil Filter Adapter** (fits all M96, M97 models to MY2008) We applaud Porsche's use of a canister to reduce waste, but due to feedback from many of the shops and technicians we serve, LN Engineering now offers our exclusive **patent pending full-flow spin-on oil filter adapter, allowing for use of a conventional spin-on oil filter, rather than requiring the use of expensive and inferior replacement cartridge-style filters. This makes changing your oil a much simpler task. No longer do you have to handle changing out the cartridge, worry about contamination of the oil filter housing, depositing lint or transfer from whatever rag or paper is used to wipe out the housing, or thinking you have cross threaded the cheap plastic filter housing since they don't fit all that well. (a complaint we hear often!) Our spin-on oil filter adapter makes oil changes easy again! 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). We've chosen a family of filters used on late-model Corvettes, easily found at many local auto parts stores for a fraction the price of the original filter, designed for full-flow application without a bypass valve. Coupled with more frequent oil changes every 6 months or 5,000 as recommended, there should be no fear that a bypass is required. Our spin-on filter adapter has been race proven not to cause oil starvation, even in the most demanding applications. If you were to have a failure where the filter did fill up with debris leading to starvation, if you had a bypass that same debris would have caused further damage to the engine, still requiring an overhaul. We've seen engine failures where the lack of a bypass actually limited damage to the rest of the engine! Although inspecting the filter for debris requires a special tool to cut open the steel bodied filters over the ease of inspecting the factory filter inserts, when paired with our magnetic drain plug, you can actually get a better indicator of abnormal wear from the ferrous material collected by the magnet on our drain plug. Regarding warranty issues, we've had many Porsche dealerships across the country purchase and install our spin-on full-flow adapters, without any concerns about voiding a warranty. In fact, the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act protects your warranty from being voided for use of aftermarket parts on your vehicle. Sold individually or in a complete oil change bundle (shown below) for your Boxster, Cayman, or 911, our bundle includes an oil filter, filter adapter and install tool, magnetic drain plug, and an extra drain plug washer, at a discount. Installs easily with a 26mm socket. (not included)
Fits 986/987 as well as 996/997 models & replaces Porsche part numbers 996 107 020 53 (54, 55) LN Engineering also offers two universal Accusump installation kits for Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911 models, starting at $1029 including the spin-on filter adapter.

We recommend the Napa Gold 1042, which exceeds the quality of traditional OE Mahle spin-on filters typically found on aircooled Porsche engines. An extra-short filter is also available, Napa Gold 1081, for use when paired with our accusump input adapter if you desire to preserve OE ground clearance, when doing an accusump install (as shown below). Also compatible with our SPOFA (short for Spin-On Oil Filter Adapter), are the Mobil 1 M1107 or K&N Gold HP-1007 filter. Long story short, the Mobil 1 and K&N Gold filters are a well constructed filter, using synthetic resin impregnated filter media capable of filtering lower micron particles while not restricting oil flow, and have burst pressures much higher than any engine is capable of producing. Since a steel-bodied spin-on conventional oil filter is now employed, you can further reduce engine wear by using a Filtermag, which reduces iron contaminants in your motor oil and thus reduces wear associated with these particles normally unfiltered by the oil filter.

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. 2010 Pricing Schedule
