Hi List,
While we're on the subject, I installed my spin on adapter a few month ago
and have not experienced any leakage. But, my question is this, I installed
the adapter so that the filter would hang downward, as I'm told that was the
correct installation. However, I found that the clutch slave cylinder was
in the way fr a complete verticle installation and thus had to install the
adapter so that the oil filter hangs at an angle. Have I done something
wrong or do I have to make an adaptation so that both the oil filter can
hang vertically Thanks

have installed three adapters and not had any leaking. My most recent
experience with oil filters was when a friend of myne that lives in town
asked me to change his oil (The local valvoline won't do it without the spin
on). I forgot that his car had an external rocker oil feed.....I spent 20
min trying get the old filter out of the engine, and another 10 trying to
get the new one in.... I would definately take the time to make the adapter
work properly. It may not be any cleaner, but it will pay its divedends in
the time you will save in the future, not to mention that auto zone actually
stocks filters for the adapters.
