Good morning,
One point that comes to mind. I have a spin on adapter that hangs the oil
filter.
The filter screws on from below. I have a friend that had one that supported the
filter. The filter screwed on from above. (inverted?)
He was watching me change my oil one day and commented that he thought his
system
was nicer in that his filter drained back after the car was stopped, so he
didn't
have to get under the car to change the filter and he also didn't get a handfull
of oil while he was removing the filter. I countered that the handful of oil
wasn't
so bad but I thought the fact that the oil had to get sucked up into the lube
system delaying pressure build up during startup was a big negative.
